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.
Deals with rhythm as a means of expression.
"To prove this assertion is the main object of Mr. Williams' book. He has much to say about accents, phrasing, anacrusis, tempo, pauses, rests, staccato, rubato, and divers other points; but the value of his volume lies chiefly in the emphasizing of this expressional aspect of rhythm. Players will find this book a valuable aid to the appreciation of modern music."
— The Nation
"His book is both clever and instructive."
— The Athenæum
"That it will be useful to students is more than we care to say, and of course, it is far beyond the grasp of most amateurs."
— Saturday Review

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the aesthetic aspects of rhythm in music, primarily focusing on the creative applications of rhythm that have developed in the modern era. The author argues that rhythm has taken on a new, expressive role in instrumental music, and goes on to offer insights into the powerful ways that composers can use rhythm to convey emotion and ideas. Readers will learn the fundamental elements of rhythm and how they interact; the way in which musical rhythm is distinct from concepts of poetic rhythm and meter; the historical roots and evolution of rhythm in music; and the theoretical structure of common rhythmic forms. These concepts are illustrated with easily recognizable examples from a wide range of classical and contemporary music. This book is an accessible and engaging journey into the often-overlooked topic of rhythm and will enhance any music lover's appreciation of the art form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
