(Where clear explanation could not be given in a few words...)
Where clear explanation could not be given in a few words, necessary space has been taken. The Italian terminology is given preference to a large extent, for it has most general use. (S ee Elsons Music Dictionary, note on page 802.) In this connection it may be stated that some Italian words are quite similar to their English equivalents and can be easily translated: for instance, abbandono with abandon, affablle affable, carezzandO fcaressingly, etc. There are many terminal variants in Italian words, such as dolore dolentey dolorosamente, dolentemente etc. In a condensed work, such as this, only the root-forms are given, but as many as possible of these. Where compound terms are not given look up the words separately. For practical and immediate use in the class-room 1believe that the little volume will be found sufficient xo the needs of the teacher. LOUIS C. ELSON.

(To do it in such a way as to hold the interest of the cas...)
To do it in such a way as to hold the interest of the casual reader and command the respect of the musical enthusiast is doubly difficult. Yet it is hoped that this purpose has here been achieved. A particularly unique feature is the inclusion of many monographs on celebrated composers that are the literary product of other equally celebrated composers, critics and specialists. As a composer, Saint-S aens is known the world over; and yet many may be surprised to realize that as a critic and musical litterateur he is one of the foremost in France. A monograph on Franz Liszt from the pen of Saint-S aens becomes, then, a rare moment in musical literature, and one which should find a permanent place in the library of every music lover,, Edvard Grieg, writing upon Schumann and Mozart, affords not only a view of two composers through the intimate understanding of another composer, but at the same time offers a rare opportunity for a reverse analysis of a composer who for the-moment has turned critic a view which in his particular case is perhaps possible through no other surviving medium of self-revealK ient. Those voiunieL are replete with any number of similar examples, wherein composers, who for the most part have expressed their inmost thoughts only in musical writings, employ the language of written speech for an intimate delineation such as would hardly be possible to the average critical writer on music, at the same time laying bare their own mental processes to a degree that is impossible in any other way. Oh, that mine enemy would write, a book, was the cry of one who realized with what fidelity the pen of the writer mirrors his own inner conscience, while ostensibly analyzing for the reader some wholly detached character or series of events.

lecturer music critic author and teacher
Louis Charles Elson was born in Boston, the son of Julius and Rosalie (Schnell) Elson.
He was educated in the public schools of Boston and received his first lessons (in piano) from his mother, studying later with August Kreissmann and Carl Gloggner-Castelli of Leipzig.
Beginning with the editorship of Vox Humana, then writing as music critic on the Boston Courier, he joined the staff of the Boston Advertiser in 1886, retaining that position until his death. In this field he led the way to a more detailed and thorough estimate of musical works and performances than had been customary in the United States, and incidentally treated all artists under ate to succeed Calhoun.
