Excerpt from Modern Music and Musicians, Vol. 1: Compositions for Piano It is imperative, in this day of musical advance, that the pianist's education should not be bounded by the keyboard. The lives Of the masters, the birth and growth of different musical schools, the management of the orchestra in compositions that one hears frequently, the com prehension Of the plan or form Of the compositions which one executes, all these things are necessary to the fullest enjoyment and appreciation of Music. It has been my aim to gather as many as possible Of these topics into a single work, properly classified and accessible for constant reference.
