"A standard work without a rival."—Review of Reviews."A necessity for every one at all interested in the art of music."—Advertiser(Boston)."Unquestionably the most valuable work of the kind in English."—The Times(New York)."A veritable storehouse of authentic information of musical subjects."—Courier-Journal(Louisville)."The finished work will be an invaluable aid and a constant delight to students, musicians, critics, writers, and all laymen genuinely interested in music or in music-makers."—The Independent."We have tested the new edition on subject after subject, and always it has supplied the point sought. Best of all, it is informed with the spirit which Grove insisted upon at the start. It tells the reader what he wants to know, and on every page it arrests him with writing that is good to read. If the 'Dictionary' is instructive, it is also one of the most fascinating of books."—The Tribune(New York)."Assuming that the remaining volumes will represent the same standard of musical scholarship and will contain similar results of careful and accurate labor, it will not be premature to announce—and this, too, without any disrespect to the memory of Sir George Grove as a scholar—that at last we have an English musical dictionary not only worthy to be compared with the French and German dictionaries, but surpassing them all in the lateness of its information and in its comprehensive scope."—The Dial(Chicago).
