Gustav Kobbé (1857–1918) was an esteemed American music critic, author, and lawyer known for his notable contributions to the world of classical music literature. Kobbé was born in New York City and displayed a passion for music and the arts at an early age. He pursued his education at Columbia College and later at Columbia Law School, but his legal career was overshadowed by his accomplishments as a music critic and author. Throughout his life, Kobbé contributed numerous articles to leading periodicals and journals, sharing his profound knowledge of music with a broad audience. His magnum opus, 'The Loves of Great Composers', is an insightful exploration into the romantic lives and influences of renowned musicians. Kobbé delves into the emotions and experiences that shaped the masterpieces of legendary composers, arguing that understanding their personal lives offers a deeper appreciation of their musical works. This book, along with his other works, illustrates Kobbé's literary style, which seamlessly blends scholarly research with an accessible narrative, making classical music relatable and enjoyable for both aficionados and novices. Kobbé's legacy as a music critic is also cemented by 'The Complete Opera Book', which remains a standard reference for opera enthusiasts to this day. His scholarly and engaging approach to music critique has left a lasting impact on the literary world.
