“This is eminently a book for the layman, for M. Jean-Aubry avoids technicalities.”

“Mr Jean-Aubry is necessarily but not unfairly prejudiced in favor of his native music. Delightful and refreshing are the studies and sketches—for preserving whose charm, by the way, the reader is indebted to the translator, Edwin Evans—of contemporary modern French composers, which occupy the greater portion of the book.”

“The merit of this book is that it is not afraid of pressing into the service of music everything that can be a symbol; its weakness is that positive statements about the music swim rather sparsely in a whirlpool of words.”
