Excerpt from The Influence of Analytical Pre-Study in Memorizing Piano Music

In the middle Of the 19th century, Franz Liszt, composer and sensational pianist, created a new vogue, when in a moment Of interpretive fervor, he cast the music score from the rack and con tinned his recital from memory. This startling innovation has long since become traditional in solo recital and threatens soon to include chamber music and orchestral conducting as well.

The advantage of memorized performance of ensemble music is problematical, but is Obvious for solo presentation. Not only the dependence of the artist on his notes, but the very physical presence of the music score destroys the illusion of spontaneous creation.
