Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

This work has the twofold aim of presenting, in the most condensed form possible, well-defined notions concerning the things which must form the substratum of every musicians serious studies, and of interesting all those who cultivate or love the musical art in whatever degree by unveiling to them its machinery and its methods, many of which are but little known to even the most enlightened public. It is, then, at once a guide for the student musician, who will find here laid out a plan for the direction of his labours more abstruse and more complex than is generally believed and a popular treatise on Music for the use of the general reader, the intelligent and curious amateur. The former will find information here as to the nature and importance of the studies through which his path lies, in the pursuit of his proposed aim, and an indication of the works of instruction that will be most useful to him in every branch of the musical art, for this book has not in itself, a didactic character. The lover of Music will, however, learn from it the elements of our special technology, which may interest him, and will find here, also, much information, of a nature sometimes to surprise him, and often to gratify his legitimate and sympathetic curiosity. Such are the reasons which have decided me to publish this 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.
