Excerpt from On Purity in Musical Art The fact that this Essay was first published more than half a century ago, might seem, at first sight, to render its translation now a work of doubtful utility. But, inasmuch as it is still in demand in Germany, as is proved by the publication of the Fifth Edition as recently as in 1875, and looking to the great extension of the study and practice of music in our own country, I am persuaded that it will be read both with interest and with profit in England. Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut was first Professor of Jurisprudence at Heidelberg, and author of several important treatises on Roman and modern law, published between 1797 and 1818.

An excerpt from the beginning of the first chapter: ON THE CHORALE. It has perhaps never been so generally acknowledged as at the present time that the groundwork of all true knowledge must necessarily lie in the historical study and acquisition of standard works that have come down to us. It is only by thus profiting by the lessons of others that fresh energy can safely be applied towards the advancement of truth. Acquaintance with the older masterpieces may also have the great negative advantage of convincing worthless pretensions of their futility, and of diverting them from the business of production to the quiet enjoyment and diffusion of the model works we have inherited from past ages. Men of real genius, like Plato, Raphael, and Shakespeare, are phenomena of extremely rare occurrence; but it has been theirs to sway generation after generation, and to exert a beneficial influence for thousands of years. Hence it is of all conceits the most pitiable for anyone to dispense with the study of the classics from confidence in his own powers, and so, in effect, declare that he considers himself on a par with the great spirits of bygone time. All our young men of education make it almost a point of honour to revert to the model authors of antiquity; and any one who was setting up for a painter would assuredly no more venture to pronounce the study of the works of Raphael, Michael Angelo, Van Eyck, and Dürer, to be superfluous, than would a youthful poet venture to come out with a new Iliad, or a new King Lear, without acquainting himself with the immortal works of Homer or Shakespeare. Hence in poetry, painting, and architecture, we now have a freshness and life which cannot but please, though it happens often enough that a want of genius and power causes the best intentions to fall short of the complete fulfilment of their aim. It is in music alone that an arrogance, that disdains all history, is the order of the day, although the greatest masters of the period preceding our own showed us a better example. There was nothing on which Handel, Hasse, and Graun were more eagerly bent than on the thorough prosecution of musical study in Italy. They did not indeed follow the example of most of our professors, who take every opportunity of showing off with a few bravura pieces laboriously mastered, and think that classical taste is to be found among the audiences of the concert-room; but, whilst composing fine works, and offering them to the judgment of the public, they took care to study the standard works of others for themselves, and cultivated an intimate acquaintance with the most eminent masters. Sebastian Bach, again, who was prevented from travel ling, studied intently the works of other masters-Caldara, the immortal Venetian, being one of his especial favourites. Even Mozart, though his genius rendered him well nigh independent of others, yet held the chief works of his predecessors-those of Handel and Sebastian Bach in particular-in high esteem; and it is owing, primarily, to his edition of the " Messiah" that Handel's reputation has outlived an age of musical shallowness. But now, how utterly changed is all this! We see now an almost absolute reliance on individual powers, an unlimited amount of original composition, and, for the most part, a contemptuous disregard for what is called antiquated.

Excerpt from Wagner as Man and Artist It is in keeping with the whole character of the man that he Should have left us more copious documentary material concerning himself than any other artist has ever done. Publicity was as much a necessity to him as food and air. The most interesting person in the universe to him was always himself and he took good care that the world Should not suffer from any lack of know ledge of a phenomenon which he rightly held to be unique. It would be a Sign of unwisdom to despise him for this. It has to be recognised that whatever criticism the contemporary moralist might have to pass upon this or that portion of Wagner's conduct with the outer world, he was always the soul of purity and stead fastness in the pursuit of his ideal. He believed he had come into the world to do a great and indispensable work and if he occasion ally sacrificed others to his ideal, it must be admitted that he never hesitated to sacrifice himself. Regarded purely as an artist, no man has ever kept his conscience more free from stain. And it is precisely this ever-present burning sense of the inherent greatness of his mission that accounts primarily for his constant pouring-out of himself, not only in music - his musical output.

Excerpt from Art-Music Readers: Book Two The second in the series of art-music Readers deals with well-established facts of music history but adds those gems of literature and painting which have become associated with the romance of the art. Song and story have ever traveled hand in hand. Charm ing pictures heighten the interest of a subject by firing the reader's imagination. The presence of the printed music in this book affords still another means of bringing the art itself before the student. For schoolroom purposes the character of the reading material is most important. The aim of the art-music Readers is, first of all, to make the text good literature. Pure, simple, direct, dignified and inspiring. It is pure because it contains the best forms of English expression; simple, because it uses familiar words in the most familiar way; direct, because it treats each subject without com plications; dignified, because it never descends to silly diction under the delusion that such expressions amuse and attract the young; inspiring, because it directs the thought to lofty themes and creates a desire for the best in art. The books will be read by art students of all ages with equal interest and profit. Hence, while the title, Second Reader, implies a continuous historic sequence, the material is so complete within itself that the books may be used in any order, and the interest created will be equally strong in all grades.

Excerpt from The Oxford History of Music, Vol. 1: The Polyphonic Period; Part I; Method of Musical Art, 330-1330 IN considering the development Of the resources of pure sound, regarded as a material for artistic treatment, the phenomena may be seen as arranging themselves in three main divisions or periods, each representing a totally distinct phase Of artistic activity in relation to the material and a different view of its capabilities. The first period represents that phase in which the beauty to be Obtained from the material is perceived only as consisting in certain arrangements Of consecutive simple sounds; the aim Of the artist is Single, and its outcome is the coherent individual utterance, or Melody. This was the music of the Old Greeks and is still the music of all eastern people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
