Synopsis

Excerpt from Dictionary of Music

Accordingly these have been relegated to their proper places, under their leading terms In other cases, however, entire phrases have been ih cluded under their leading word, such as those beginning with Allegro, Andante, etc., because these combinations are of constant occurrence, and the complex term possesses an individual significance which is not in all cases exactly the same as the sum of its elements.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book herewith offered the musical public has one aim, which is utility - practical use. While there is already a considerable number of small dictionaries, the publishers of the present work believe that there is still room for another, which, as far as possible, should combine the advantages of all the best ones and avoid their prominent defects, such as obsolete and often incorrect phraseology, reduplication of terms, redundancy of obsolete terms, and the like. Accordingly, the work was committed to the present editors, who have agreed upon the selection of terms and information following. Its special points of usefulness are these:

1. The vocabulary, while not so large as two others, is more complete and modern, aggregating nearly 10,000 terms.

2. The definitions have been amended where necessary, and some hundreds of important topics have been entirely rewritten, such as Accent, Consonance, Dissonance, Temperament, and the like.

3. Pronunciations have been affixed to all terms from foreign languages. These are very necessary by reason of the totally different principles of pronunciation which govern terms from the French, German and Italian respectively. The pronunciations are approximate only, but they will be found of great assistance.

4. At the beginning, in place of an Introduction, we have placed a general view of Musical Notation, not alone the topics which ordinarily are included under that head, but also those rarer matters of the signs employed in different departments of manuscript music and score-writing. As far as we have been able to collect them, this summary includes every sign liable to be met with by the student, no matter in what department he may work.
