Arthur Foote, Boston, Mass.
"The scheme is a new one and seems to me of much practical value. The analyses are lucid and just the thing to teach the pupil how to think and work out such matters for himself."
H. D. Sleeper, Professor of Music, Smith College:
"Capitally planned and carried out to meet a very definite need—the awakening of intelligence regarding good music in the minds of young people of high school and college age."
Joseph N. Ashton, Director of Music, Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass., formerly Professor of Music, Brown University:
"An admirable book. The music selected as a basis of study is such as the student would be expected to be acquainted with. The scheme avoids on the one side mechanical dryness and on the other vague and valueless rhapsody. With this book sterile study is well-nigh impossible."
Mrs. Frank A. Seiberling, President National Federation of Music Clubs:
"The book will be invaluable to use in music clubs as a means of getting a fundamental understanding of the history of music and the various forms of compositions. When our next pamphlet goes out to the clubs of our national federation I shall list the book for use as a reference manual for the entire season for club study."
Dr. Percy Goetschius, Institute of Musical Art, New York City:
"I am thoroughly delighted with the book. It is an original, very sensible and practical method of approaching this important subject; it is admirably planned and its comprehensive contents admirably systematized; and it is written with a delightful mixture of simplicity and erudition that makes it both easy to use and appealing to the student."
