| Summary | "Music-Study in Germany" by Amy Fay is a collection of personal letters and observations written in the late 19th century. This work documents the author's experiences as a music student in Germany, highlighting her interactions with notable musicians and the musical culture of the time. The correspondence not only offers a glimpse into the life of an aspiring musician but also reflects on the educational practices and societal norms she encountered. At the start of the text, the author arrives in Berlin, setting the scene with vivid descriptions of her living quarters and the German customs surrounding her. She expresses her initial impressions of her new surroundings and her excitement about studying at the conservatory. Fay recounts her first lessons, the challenges of adapting to a different culture, and her experiences with other musicians, including her teacher, Tausig. These opening portions capture her enthusiasm, struggles, and insights into the rigorous environment that characterized music study in 19th-century Germany, establishing a personal narrative that invites readers into her journey.
