Excerpt from The Evolution of the Art of Music The following outline of the Evolution of Musical Art was undertaken, at the invitation of Mr. Kegan Paul, somewhere about the year 1884. Its appearance was delayed by the constantly increasing mass of data and evidence about the music of savages, folk music, and mediaeval music; and by the necessity of exploring some of the Obscure and neglected corners of the wide-spread story of the Art. And though the subject was almost constantly under consideration, with a few inevitable interruptions, the book was not completed till 1893.

Excerpt from The Art of Music, Vol. 4 of 14: A Comprehensive Library of Information for Music Lovers and Musicians Prophecy, not history, is the most truly important concern of music in America. What a new world, with new processes and new ideals, will do with the tract able and still unformed art of music; what will arise from the contact of this art with our unprecedented democracy - these are the questions of deepest import in our musical life in the United States. The past has consisted chie y of a tasting of the musical art and traditions of the old world. The present is divided between imitation of the old and searching for the new, both in quality and application. The fruitage of our national musical life is still for the future. Intense as are the activities of the present, they are still merely the preparation of the soil for a future growth the nature and extent of which we can only guess at to-day. The stream of musical evolution in America, in the present transitional period, is rapidly over owing its wonted banks, and passing the bounda ries of the traditional musical world. The many are striving to obtain that which has been the exclusive possession of the few, and in this endeavor are not only extending, but also actually transforming the art. The paramount issues change with the passing of the sea sons. One imported European sensation gives way to another. The problem of the true basis of American music dissolves overnight, and gives way to the prob. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of the Art of Music Music has been styled the youngest, but greatest of the Arts. My experience tells me that it is the oldest and grandest of all arts. To tell the story then, in one small volume, of a subject which dates from Creation, is no easy matter, it would seem. My plan has been to be as concise as possible to keep the running note of theoretical and in strumental progress and development before the reader; also to be non-technical where plain language would answer. Mention has been made only of composers and matters, who and which have actually moved the art onwards; and, inasmuch as one topic alone of the subject - say Form or Orchestration, could not possibly be adequately treated in the space allotted for my entire story, I must be pardoned if I have seemed to slip away from important points. The difficulty has been to get away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Noble Art: Three Lectures on the Evolution and Construction of the Piano Piano-playing may be defined as the act of choos ing and exciting musical Vibrations in a piano. Be cause this requires manual dexterity, the human arm and hand have been carefully studied. We have learned what part anatomy, physiology, and mechanics contribute to those nice calculations which insure artis tic execution. But is familiarity with the manipulation of the power end of a lever, and ignorance of the resultant motions beyond the fulcrum, knowledge? And which of us knows the exact mechanical operation of any one of our simplest touches? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Evolution of Church Music IT is eminently appropriate that the story of the Evolution of Music should be written by a clergyman. A retrospect which reaches back no farther in the land from which we derive both our language and our literature than the third decade of the thirteenth century will discover that the first English school of music of which any trace has been discovered, was founded about that time by John of Porn sete, a monk attached to the famous monastery at Reading, in Berkshire. Its records still survive, and the curious scholar may find them in a manuscript bearing date 1226, which is known as the Reading ms., and which is among the treasures of the British Museum.

Excerpt from Analysis of the Evolution of Musical Form The general drift of this theory of music has already been indicated in The Rhythmic Conception of Music. The object of the present volume may be briefly stated to be the application of the evolutionary principle to practical music, the essential motive power of which is to be found in rhythm. By this means it is possible to produce an analysis which, as promised in the former volume, shall weld all the various parts of musical education into one consistent and logical whole. The theory has arisen not from abstract ideas, but out of the study of music. It is not so much a theory about music as an endeavour to translate into the terms of the intellect the form of the impressions made upon the musical imagination - in short, to hold the mirror up to Music. It is hoped that those who have themselves the intuitive knowledge will recognise the likeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Jazz: Its Evolution and Essence As his taste becomes more refined, the admirer of Alfred de Musset abandons him for Verlaine. One who was brought up on Hugo dedicates himself completely to Mallarme. These intellectual changes generally occur in one direction rather than in the other, which is much less possible. Who is it expressing himself in this way? Paul Valery, who here gives a golden rule for, one's own esthetic evolu tion, the only criterion of taste that is confirmed by common experience. In the field of music, this evolution reflects not only the refinement of taste, but also the awareness of certain objective realities that do not always appear at the outset. This serves to explain why certain opinions expressed in this book do not fit in with others in my earlier works. Moreover, the general point of view is'no longer the same, Since in 1944, particularly, I was still influenced by and participating in a school of criticism that this book, in large measure, takes exception to.
