Synopsis
Excerpt from The Student's Musical History
AN article, which appeared in The Overture was the occasion of my being requested to write this book: In that article I had pointed out how ignorance of musical history sometimes has a considerable influence upon various practical matters; and, since musicians almost universally suppose that with which they are familiar to be correct and classical, it is well that they should learn in their student-days how notation, style of performance, and resources at command, have varied considerably even during the last two centuries. To perform the works of the great masters correctly, it is not sufficient to produce the correct notes. Again, in the bach-handel period, notation was in some respects so different from the present staff notation that it has led to mistakes in certain modern editions.
