(An excerpt from the Introduction: The swift current of...)
An excerpt from the Introduction: The swift current of modern musical art during the last ten or fifteen years seems at first glance to have ruthlessly swept away the whole of the theories of the past. The earnest student may well be excused if he is bewildered completely on rising up fresh from his theoretical treatises to plunge into the music of actual life — of the twentieth-century opera-houses, concert-halls, and music-rooms. The sincere mind can hardly be satisfied by the offhand opinions of hide-bound time-servers, who curtly dismiss these modern composers with a deprecatory wave of the hand! The whole of musical history — the initial rejection and later triumph of Monteverde and Gluck, of Bach and Beethoven, Wagner and Strauss — warns one against the too easy acceptance of the neatly turned epithets of persons who are too indolent to understand, or too indifferent to appreciate, a new kind of music which claims at once wide sympathies and considerable powers of concentration. Music which causes people to " hiss " and " boo " must contain at any rate some vitality, and is preferable consequently to that which speedily reduces the audience to a somnolent passivity. Even on short acquaintance these modern musicians have too much method in their so-called "modernity" to be dismissed thus cursorily. Ex nihilo nihil, and the more deeply our interest is roused, the more we feel convinced that the methods of the leaders of these many modern styles — or schools, or whatever we please to call them — are well founded on the rock-bed principles from which all the many secondary laws of art are drawn. It is the greatest possible mistake to view these modem schools as things separate from the art of the past. Indeed, most of the new traits are legitimate growths out of the art technique of the acknowledged great masters. Moreover, it does seem as if there were nothing new under the sun. Just as the principles of the twentieth-century "Cubism in painting were well known some 400 years ago, so the modern methods of part-writing and chord-building all find their prototypes time after time in the pages of the great masters of the past.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

composer music critic musicologist
Initially a music student of the pianist and theorist Tobias Matthay, he graduated with a Doctorate of Music (Music Doc) from Oxford University.
He lived in Huddersfield in Yorkshire, and became an editor of several music publications including The Monthly Musical Record, International Library of Books on Music, Library of Music and musicians(a series of books on composers), The Music Lover"s library (short books on classical music subjects) and others He also taught the piano and organ privately with Frederic Lord being one of his notable pupils. Hull wrote a biography of Alexander Scriabin, and coined the term "mystic chord" to describe the harmonic and melodic device which the Russian composer used in some of his later works.
He also wrote a living biography of another mystically inclined composer, Cyril Scott, for whom he had a high regard, calling him "at the least, the equal of those (composers) of any other country".
Hull translated and edited biographies of Mussorgsky, Handel, Beethoven and others He also wrote books and articles on subjects such as musical harmony and organ technique (see bibliography), was a composer and arranger, and produced editions of music scores (such as the "Organ Sonatas" of Alexandre Guilmant).
He was the general editor for the reference work, "A Dictionary of Modern Music and Musicians" (Dent, 1924), which covered the period from 1880 onwards. In 1927, his book Music: Classical, Romantic and Modern was published but material in it was found to be borrowed from other writers.
How much of this was delibarate plagiarism and how much a mere careless, hasty failure to cite sources is not known, but the resultant public denunciations (led by lexicographer Percy Scholes) left Hull very upset.
He committed suicide by throwing himself under a train at Huddersfield station.
