Musical History, Biography, and Criticism: Being a General Survey of Music, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
He has endeavoured to use simple and perspicuous language, avoiding technical phraseology and abstruse discussions; these, in truth, being wholly unnecessary in treating of Music, not as an intricate science, but as one of the most beautiful of the Fine A rts. He has entered, as fully as the plan of a concise and popular work would admit of, into an examination of the works of the great masters; endeavouring to illustrate those principles of criticism which are the foundation of sound judgments on musical subjects. His opinions, he knows, are not always in accordance with those which have been advanced by critics superior to himself 5and he is very far from having any overweening confidence in his own infallibility. He may have taken narrow views, or (like many of his betters,) may have been sometimes blinded by prejudice. But his opinions have been carefully formed; and any errors that may be laid to their charge are certainly not the result of wilful perversion of judgment. The following pages contain a view of the state of music among the ancients; an account of its revival in the middle ages; and a history of its progress in I taly, Germany, France, andE ngland, down to the present time. It embraces biographical sketches of the greatest musicians, (the lives of many of whom are full of interest,) and critical remarks on their productions. It is hardly necessary to say, that the same minuteness of historical detail cannot be expected in this as in a larger work.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
