"Whether or not you like music is beside the point where this delightful book is concerned. For the brilliant wit of these clever caricatures does not spring entirely from the fact that they portray the top greats of the musical world. It bubbles out of the vulnerability of all public figures and from the comic contrast between little vanieties and big talents. All you need for enjoyment of Alfred Bendiner's charming, chuckling, sophisticated studies is the willingness to be amused by one of the most puckish pens ever to have been dipped in the well of laughing ink. Originally drawn to accompany music reviews, many of the caricatures have now a permanent place in the Cabinet des Estampes, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; the National Art Gallery, Washington, D.

"Whether or not you like music is beside the point where this delightful book is concerned. For the brilliant wit of these clever caricatures does not spring entirely from the fact that they portray the top greats of the musical world. It bubbles out of the vulnerability of all public figures and from the comic contrast between little vanieties and big talents. All you need for enjoyment of Alfred Bendiner's charming, chuckling, sophisticated studies is the willingness to be amused by one of the most puckish pens ever to have been dipped in the well of laughing ink. Originally drawn to accompany music reviews, many of the caricatures have now a permanent place in the Cabinet des Estampes, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; the National Art Gallery, Washington, D.
