Davies, D. Ffrangçon-. Singing of the future; with an introd. by Edward Elgar. [*]$2.50. Lane.
“In the old warfare between technique and intelligence as regards musical interpretation, Mr. Ffrangçon-Davies declares himself, as we might expect, on the side of intelligence. With him the meaning is everything, and he contends that if the singer thinks the words he is singing, all the rest will follow of itself.... Far from despising vocal technique, the author lays great stress on a sound method, and explains what the basis of that method should be.”—Lond. Times.
“It is a pity that by the copious use of footnotes and parentheses the author should have weakened his case, for by these and other means he qualifies almost everything he says till the reader is at a loss to keep the main drift of his argument in view.”
