Carl Maria Von Weber; The Life of an Artist Volume 1 - Primary Source Edition

Originally published in German as 'Carl Maria von Weber: Ein Lebensbild' by the composer's son, Max Maria von Weber, this biographical work first appeared in the mid-19th century. It was conceived as a definitive, intimate record of the composer's life, drawing upon family archives and personal recollections that were unavailable to other biographers of the era. The work is widely regarded as a foundational primary source for musicologists studying the Romantic period.

This specific volume is a 'Primary Source Edition,' a modern reprinting that utilizes digital scanning technology to preserve the text of the original historical publication. These editions are part of an initiative to keep archival materials accessible to researchers and libraries, ensuring that the legacy of the Weber family remains documented for contemporary scholars who require access to the specific 19th-century prose and narrative structure established by the author.
