Excerpt from How to Write Music: Musical Orthography The remedy is simple. Recognition must be developed till it becomes recollection: the writ ing of music must be taught concurrently with the reading of it. This was once the case: music-writing was a necessary part of a musician's education. One may be the more surprised at its falling into disuse, inasmuch as phonography - in the musical sense - is a distinctly pleasant occupa tion. Without being either drawing or writing, it partakes of the nature of both. But many points in the writing of music are not now considered to form part of the Rudiments Of Music, and are not included in primers on the subject.
