EDITED BY ELEONORE D’ESTERRE KEELING.
This is a unique Birthday Book. Against each date are given the names of musicians whose birthday it is, together with a verse-quotation appropriate to the character of their different compositions or performances. A special feature of the book consists in the reproduction in fac-simile of autographs, and autographic music, of living composers. Three sonnets by Mr. Theodore Watts, on the “Fausts” of Berlioz, Schumann, and Gounod, have been written specially for this volume. It is illustrated with designs of various musical instruments, etc.; autographs of Rubenstein, Dvorâk, Grieg, Mackenzie, Villiers Stanford, etc., etc.
“To musical amateurs this will certainly prove the most attractive birthday book ever published.”—Manchester Guardian.
“One of those happy ideas that seems to have been yearning for fulfilment.... The book ought to have a place on every music stand.”—Scottish Leader.
