Excerpt from Music: How It Came to Be What It Is The reason why some combinations of tones are more agreeable than others is that more undulations of the sound-waves coin cide. The octave Of any tone has two undu lations to one - that is, every other wave of the higher tone fits into one of the lower. The fifth has three waves to every two - that is, every third wave of the higher tone coin cides with one of the lower; the fourth has four to three, and so on.

Excerpt from Masters of Music: Their Lives and Works The love for and devotion to their art, in all the great composers, is a very wonderful thing to con template. In its name they would brave difficulties and dangers, and counted no sorrow too keen when accompanied by the comfort of music. One day while trudging along in Rome, singing happily to himself, he happened to pass the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The chapel-master within heard the fresh voice, and noted the sweet ness and correctness of tone. He knew that the singer had musical taste, at least, so, going out, he stopped him and told him that he might enter his school as a pupil. Gianetto was then almost sixteen, and this was his first opportunity of studying to become a musician. He was very happy, and at once came to Rome to live, beginning to work with the perseverance which was always one of his strongest characteristics.

Excerpt from The Story of Music The author believes that he has consulted the best interests of the reader by making free use, not only of the facts published by the standard historians and biographers but also of the opin ions of those who are accepted authorities. He has, however, set forth his own opinions at some length, and the reader will readily distinguish them by the manner of their presentation. The chapter on Wagner and the Opera of our Future reaches forward into the region whose history is yet to be made, but it contains con elusions which the author hopes will appeal forcibly to all lovers, not only of truthful dra matic music, but of the divine art of song.

Excerpt from A History of Music, Vol. 3 of 3 Such was the state of Tragedy at the time of Sophocles; and the chorus, and the acting, and the solo singing, and the flute-playing were all knit together into one beautiful whole, and each in turn grew naturally out of the action of the drama in the part that it came, and there was no visible effort in producing this symmetry, but it all had the ease of nature. And it was the power of Rhythm which effected this masterly union of the various parts, and kept them all together, that is, the Rhythm of Character, which is otherwise called Strength, and abides in eternal repose; so that to us, at this distant time, the Tragedy and its makers seem like a gallery of gods, or like those marble figures, that are the other relics which have come down to us from that age of repose and beauty. But what were the causes that led to the weakening of this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How the Piano Came to Be From the dried sinews stretched across the shell of a dead tortoise to the concert-grand piano of the present day is a far flight. Yet to this primitive source, it is said, may be traced the evolution of the stringed instrument which reached its culmination in the piano. The latter has been aptly called the household orchestra, and in tracing its origin one must go far back into the annals of the past. If we accept the Bible as history, and it is the greatest of all histories, the stringed instrument is of very ancient date. It is recorded that the ambassadors.

Excerpt from Musical Reminiscences and Impressions I had materials of sufficient interest at my disposal. I had not, however, written many pages, before I began to live again in the past. Incidents which i I had almost forgotten came before me as vividly as if they had occurred but yesterday. I saw, in imagination, the faces and figures of musicians, the lives and doings of whom the younger generations read as matters of musical history. For me, whilst penning my recollections, these musicians of the past were just as present as they were years ago when I was holding converse with them, or when I saw them at the festival or concert in which they were taking part. Some of these celebrities still live in their works, and are thus in a manner present amongst us; but the great singers and the world famed executants I have written about are, for the most part, but a name to those who have not had the privilege, as I had, of hearing them. The voice of many a celebrated singer of bygone days still rings in my ears, although now for ever mute. I.

Excerpt from History of Foreign Music It is doubtful whether much that appeals to us as poetical in the expressions of people in lower culture, ought to be considered poetry. We should only call that poetry, which is intentionally put into aesthetic form with the idea of giving pleasure. Savages and barbarians frequently use striking metaphors, which, if employed by us, would be poetical. Thus, it is natural for the barbarian of northern Asia to speak of a flame of fire as a living tongue licking its prey before devouring it. If one among us should speak in such fashion he might properly be said to be employing poetic language. We do not believe the fire to be a living being, nor the fuel to be prey. To the barbarous man, however, the, fire is really living, the fuel is truly prey to be devoured. With him the metaphor is simply prose. When the American Indian says, I am a lone pine tree, he is unquestionably indulging in a figure of speech; he does not think he is a pine tree, but has selected the words intentionally to present a picture to the mind. This expression would be poetical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
