| Abstract | Though little is known of Heinrich Probst himself, these letters to his employer give much insight into musical life during this period in what many feel was the musical center of the world at the time. The letters inform about business dealings prices, the occasional scandal, the tastes and peculiarities of Probst's friends and acquaintances (some of the major names in the world of music), and the intricacies of the music publishing business at its height. |
