Description
Excerpt from Primer of Facts About Music Questions and Answers
In preparing this Primer of Facts about Music the compiler has had in view the need of the student for a small handy book for ready reference as well as study. Condensation, conciseness, and a practical selection and arrangement of useful material have been aimed at, in order that the little book may serve as a convenient substitute for extensive dictionaries and text-books of music, designed for more detailed use. It is desired to call attention to the following points, which, it is hoped, will prove helpful to the student: The use of type of contrasting sizes, by means of which the brief statement of the principal subject-matter in each answer may be distinguished from the explanatory notes; the reference list of composers, with their nationalities and dates, and indications of their places in the Musical History Charts; the marginal numbering of paragraphs, facilitating the use of the Index of English and foreign technical terms, etc.; and the grouping, in a special section devoted to each, of matter relating to the piano, the violin, the voice, etc.
The compiler, who throughout the preparation of the work has had the benefit of helpful criticism from Mr. W. Edward Heimendahl, hereby makes grateful acknowledgment of his valuable suggestions and of the permission to use his classification of composers in arranging the Musical History Charts.
In the compilation of the primer various standard dictionaries, text-books, etc., by Grove, Baker, Hutcheson, Niecks, Christiani, Parent, Faelten, Lavignac, etc., have been consulted.
