Mosco Carner was born in Vienna in 1904. At Vienna University he was one of the last pupils of Guido Adler, the great pioneer of musicology. Up to 1933, Dr. Carner was operatic conductor at the State Theater of Danzig. In the autumn of that year he settled in London, where he has made his name as a musicologist, broadcaster, and conductor, having led all of the foremost London or- chestras. He is a member of the B.B.C. Music Advisory Panel and serves as music critic on the London Evening News and the weekly Time and Tide. Dr. Carner has written widely on the music of Schubert, Schumann, Mahler, Bartok, and Alban Berg. His published books include A Study of Twentieth-Century Harmony and Of Men and Music. Having first envisaged the present book on Puccini during his student days in Vienna, he began systematic work on it in 1953.
