A DEBT of gratitude is due to the author from pianists and musicians generally for this complete and careful collection of facts respecting musical ornamentation. It is true that of the "graces," to use the quaint old English term, many are already obsolete, while others are gradually disappearing. But, if only for the fact that Sebastian Bach makes extensive use of so many, they cannot be ignored. For the sake alone of that great musician, some of them must be understood : for it is only through clear comprehension of the letter that we can arrive at the spirit of that master, whose works, in spite of some antiquated embellishments, seem to defy the ravages of time. It is strange that though several books contain explanations concerning the execution of "graces," yet, as Mr. Dannreuther shows, in the practical application of the same, many puzzling questions arise. The history of the rise and progress of ornaments commences with Diruta's "Dialogo" and the Italian composers, Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and Merulo; and then a chapter is devoted to the famous "Parthenia, or the Maidenhead of the first Musicko that ever was printed for the Virginals." It is apparently among the early English masters that are to be found the earliest instances of a species of stenography to indicate ornaments in music for keyed instruments. Mr. Dannreuther has made an elaborate study of the "Parthenia" music, and his severe strictures on modern transcribers lead one to hope that he will one day bring out an ungarbled version of it. While ornaments constitute his special theme, he introduces many a pleasant aside: as, for instance, in the chapter on Dieupart's "Suittes de Clavecin," in which he demonstrates how Bach "transfigured and glorified" some of his predecessor's music. From Spitta we know how Bach admired Dieupart's "Suittes," but Mr. Dannreuther shows us what a practical form that admiration took. It would occupy many a column were we to attempt even to notice the points of special interest in this volume, but we must hasten on to the last chapter on Joh. Sebastian Bach, which occupies close on a quarter of the book. Mr. Dannreuther deals with a difficult matter in an astonishingly simple way, and students of Bach will find it a wonderful help in interpreting his clavier music. The few general precepts with which it opens seem at once to make many a rough place plain. The very first, respecting the diatonic character of Bach's ornaments, is of the utmost importance : we could mention the name of an illustrious pianist who, by non-observance of this simple precept, has robbed one of Bach's Fugues of much of its quaint dignity. With regard to shakes starting ex abrupto... -The Academy and Literature, Volume 43 [1893]

Ornaments play an enormous role in the music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and ambiguities in their notation (as well as their frequent omission in the score) have left doubt as to how composers intended them to be interpreted. Frederick Neumann, himself a violinist and conductor, questions the validity of the rigid principles applied to their performance. In this controversial work, available for the first time in paperback, he argues that strict constraints are inconsistent with the freedom enjoyed by musicians of the period. The author takes an entirely new look at ornamentation, and particularly that of J. S. Bach. He draws on extensive research in England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States to show that prevailing interpretations are based on inadequate evidence. These restrictive interpretations have been far-reaching in their effect on style. By questioning them, this work continues to stimulate a reorientation in our understandiing of Baroque and post-Baroque music.

Excerpt from Musical Ornamentation, Vol. 1 This materials for this little book on Musical Ornamentation are arranged in quasi-chronological order. Thus they serve for a general survey as well as for a special study of ornaments. Care has been taken to make each detail intelligible. But there are so many details, and the subject is so full of seeming contradiction, that the explanations and modifying comments of a competent master may be required, if anything practically worth having is to be derived from some of the information given. Up to Beethoven, many important points in the execution of music were matters of tradition. Tempo, for instance; pitch, in vocal music a capella; gradations of piano and forte; the way to play accompaniments from a figured bass; "Diminutions," "Divisions," and the way to render certain embellishments in both vocal and instrumental music; all were left, more or less, to the discretion of the executants. Questions of taste and style have ever been decided by an appeal to tradition and the example of approved singers and players; a sufficient appeal no doubt, so long as it is made by one generation of artists to the practice of their immediate forefathers, but rather vague and puzzling after the lapse of a century or so. In the case of practical musicians there has always been a tendency to deviate from once accepted traditions; and even when they are theoretically followed, they are frequently found to be incomplete or perverted. Hence the importance of a historical survey and a comparison of materials. If, by dint of studying the various kinds of ornaments and embellishments at first hand, we are fortunate enough to attain some measure of success in tracing the links from one phase of expression to another, much is gained. We may thus arrive at a better notion of technique in times past, may be brought into closer sympathy with the instincts of older composers for time and tone, and may hope to reach something like a correct execution of their music. No one will care to advocate the revival of a host of obsolete curlicues and twirligigs, or the resuscitation of a habit of improvising facile variantes or running into division. Divisions and graces have had their day and have served their purpose. They are interesting, however, and we ought at least to understand them. But we shall not understand them from the usual instruction books, because the writers, both old and comparatively new, have taken more pains to show up what they deem bad practice and hold to be reprehensible, than to expound what they believe to be good and right, and to teach it by clear precept and example. The books contain an abundance of so-called "Explanations" concerning the execution of graces, and a deplorable paucity of special examples - examples in which the signs for graces are given together with the context, and the execution is written out in full. The tables of signs and explanations, which a little before and during the eighteenth century formed the usual adjuncts to printed copies of Pieces de Clavecin, Lessons for the Harpsichord, &c., are difficult to deal with owing to their discrepancy and their occasional and apparently arbitrary substitution of one sign for another. If one attempts to apply the explanation of an ornament given by this or that composer to contemporary music or even to music of his own, a number of puzzling questions as to practice arise, towards which the tables, just because they are tables - that is to say, abstracts - fail to furnish a sufficient answer. Some such questions are: Is the ornament diatonic, or does it require an accidental? Does it fall on the beat of the main note, as usual, or can it be meant to precede the main note? Is it quick or slow? If slow, in what relation does it stand to the main note - what proportion of the main note does it occupy? Which has the stress - the ornament or the main note?
