CONTENTS
"There have been many popular histories of music published in recent years, but none that proceeds from a point of view so original or that gives so completely results of the latest historical research ... few are written in so vivacious a style.... Sir Charles Stanford's account of the modern period, from 1600 to the present day, is an admirable summary, written with full knowledge, ripe judgment, and apt characterization."—New York Times.
