A COMPLETE HISTORY OF MUSIC FOR SCHOOLS, CLUBS, AND PRIVATE READING By W. J. BALTZELL Contributions by H. A. CLARKE, Mus. Doc.; ARTHUR ELSON, CLARENCE G. HAMILTON, A.M., EDWARD BURLINGAME HILL, A.B., ARTHUR L. JUDSON, FREDERIC S. LAW, AND PRESTON WARE OREM, Mus. Bac. With Portraits, Reproductions of Instruments and Musical Examples PHILADELPHIA, PA. THEODORE PRESSER 1908 Copyright, 1905, by THEO. PRESSER. BRITISH COPYRIGHT SECURED. PREFACE. The plan of arrangement used in this book has in view a combination of the recitation and lecture systems, and affords an opportunity for teachers to apply the best principles of both. The paragraph headings should be thoroughly fixed in mind and close attention should be given to the words in heavy type and Italics that occur in the body of a paragraph; together they form a convenient outline for the lesson. The questions at the end of each lesson are to be used to test the pupils’ mastery of the lesson material; all available works of reference should be consulted for fuller information than the limited space of one book will admit of, each member of the class preparing one or more abstracts to be read before the class. The review outlines and suggestions are to be used in the same way, special attention being given to written answers such as would be required in an examination.
