Excerpt from My Art and My Friends This volume is merely a brief record of the most important events in my not very eventful life, together with a few recollections and anecdotes of interesting persons, musical and otherwise, that I have met from time to time, many of whom have called, and can still call, my friends. I am afraid that the little word "I" is very conspicuous throughout. To tell the truth, when I began to write I tried to avoid its use as much as possible, but I got into such a hopeless muddle that, regardless of the proprieties, I plunged recklessly into the depths of egotism, and thenceforth took as kindly to the personal pronoun as a duck takes to water. The jotting down of these miniature thumbnail sketches - and they are nothing more - as they came into my mind, has been an amusing occupation, and if they only serve to while away a half-hour or so of my reader's leisure, their object will be fully accomplished.
