Présentation de l'éditeur
MllS fC LIBRARY 1OF CALIFORNIA PREFACE. The very generous notices, in theM usical Press, that followed the issue of the first edition of Notes on Conductors and Conducting, and the fact that the first thousand has been disposed of, has encouraged me to add a little matter omitted before and to attach, as an appendix, the substance of an address delivered at Birmingham. In laying this before the musical enthusiasts, whose number is ever increasing, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I have nothing to suggest oconductors of established reputation, but address myself to those only who are seeking information on technical subject. If one of these should find any help or satisfaction in the perusal of these pages, then I shall bear with equanimity the smiles of the ninety and nine who need no instruction. T. R. C.
