BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
Chats with Music Students; or Talks about Music and Music Life.
"A remarkably valuable work. It is made up of talks to students, calculated to make them think; of hints and suggestions which will be of immense assistance to those who are earnestly trying to become proficient in music."—Boston Transcript.
"No other book covers the same broad field which this covers in such a pleasant and inspiring manner."—The Writer (Boston).
The Music Life and How to Succeed in it.
"These ideas are worthy of attention from students and workers in all branches of art, science, and literature, who mean to be serious and earnest."—Boston Transcript.
"Exceedingly valuable because of its broad impartiality in its exposition of truth, its depth of understanding, and, above all, for its earnest desire, manifest in every word, to lead music students to a love for music itself…. It abounds in high artistic thought and insight."—The Boston Times.
