Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boston Symphony Orchestra: An Historical Sketch
T is to be said at the outset that this book is not the work of a musical critic, but of an editor and annalist. The task has been to con struct from a considerable body of record the story of the Orchestra. Much of the material especially in papers relating to Mr. Higginson's more personal dealings with the enterprise - has never been in print before. Much has been found also in the bound volumes of newspaper clippings about the Orchestra brought together by Mr. Allen A. Brown and preserved in the Allen A. Brown Collection at the Boston Public Library. The critical passages drawn from this source, in their reflection of the local musical opinion of the Orchestra in its successive stages, are believed to contribute an important element to the record. To Miss Barbara Duncan, custodian of the Allen A. Brown Collection, the author is indebted for.
