FRANKLIN TAYLOR.

IN TWO SETS (EIGHT BOOKS).

EDITOR'S PREFACE.

THE present collection of Studies is designed to provide teachers with a short course of Pianoforte Technique adapted to the needs of the average pupil, the intention being to spare the teacher the labour of choosing a sufficiently varied selection from the large mass of material existing, and at the same time to ensure that the different departments of technique shall be undertaken in the order which experience has proved to be the most beneficial.

The Studies are grouped in two Sets, and are so arranged that the different Books in which they are contained may be taken in consecutive order, but pupils who are already further advanced than the elementary stage represented by Set I. may commence at once with Set II., which will be found to be complete in itself, and to illustrate all the essential elements of technique.

Where additional studies are desired, or studies on certain subjects which are not touched upon in this series, the larger collection, published under the title of "* Progressive Studies" (from which the present examples have been selected), is of course available.

London, 1903.

FROM GRIEG TO BRAHMS

STUDIES OF SOME MODERN COMPOSERS

AND THEIR ART

BY

DANIEL GREGORY MASON.

In a series of essays on Grieg, Dvorák, Saint-Saëns, Franck, Tschaikowsky, and Brahms, Mr. Mason has undertaken to show how 76 each man has brought to his work his own particular temperament 76 and conception of his art, how each has contributed some special quality of expression or beauty to modern music. While the purpose of the book is thus chiefly biographical, the author has considered in an introductory essay, The Appreciation of Music," and a concluding essay, "The meaning of Music," points of more general interest, such as the process by which music has developed and the place of the art among men's other activities.

Mr. Mason's method is indicated by a sentence in the preface:"Music may be hard to understand, but musicians are men." So clearly is the human aspect of the subject presented throughout that the book will interest all music-lovers, whether or not they have a technical knowledge of the art. Each essay is accompanied by a portrait of the musician written of and a brief bibliography of those of o his works which best illustrate the points touched on in the essay.
