A Concise History Of Music From The Commencement Of The Christian Era To The Present Time PDF Download

Excerpt from A Concise History of Music From the Commencement of the Christian Era to the Present Time: For the Use of Students That a new edition of this little work should he called for within three months of its first appearance affords gratifying evidence that it has met - to some extent, at least - an acknowledged want among students of music. In response to the general invitation with which I concluded my "Introductory" Chapter, several correspondents have favoured me with corrections and suggestions of which I have thankfully availed myself. Accordingly, a few minor names and matters have been added or substituted for others. The general plan and the bulk of the work, however, remain the same as before. I cannot let this occasion pass without expressing my sincere obligations to those gentlemen, the majority of them musicians of acknowledged learning and eminence in the art, who have assisted me in the careful preparation of this Second Edition for the press.
