| Summary |
"Auld Lang Syne" by F. Max Müller is a reflective memoir published in the late 19th century. The author, a prominent philologist and scholar, explores themes surrounding memory and nostalgia, drawing upon his life experiences and notable interactions with friends and contemporaries in the literary and musical realms. The text is structured around recollections that encapsulate various aspects of the author’s past. The opening portion delves into Müller’s initial thoughts prompted by a period of enforced rest suggested by his doctor, where he decides to write about his memories rather than read or work on scholarly tasks. He opens with a reminiscence of his childhood in Dessau, a small German town rich in musical culture, and recounts the influence of music on his life. Müller reflects on his family background, mentioning his grandfather’s prominence and the cultural gatherings filled with music, literature, and art that shaped his formative years. Through a walk down memory lane, he sets the foundation for a broader narrative about the interplay of music, literature, and personal relationships throughout his life.
