FOOTNOTES:

[77] Out of the very small group of living English opera librettists one is a duke and two are barons—Argyll, Howard de Walden, and Latymer. A strange transformation in the national attitude towards music!

[78] The amount of work done by some of the English orchestras may be gauged from the fact that during the first nine months of the present European war the Queen's Hall Orchestra gave 112 concerts.
