TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES In the plain text version Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. Small Caps are represented in UPPER CASE. The text in bold is represented like =this=. The musical files for the musical examples discussed in the book have been provided by Jude Eylander. Those examples can be heard by clicking on the [Listen] tab. This is only possible in the HTML version of the book. The scores that appear in the original book have been included as “jpg” images. In some cases the scores that were used to generate the music files differ slightly from the original scores. Those differences are due to modifications that were made by the Music Transcriber during the process of creating the musical archives. They were made to make the music play accurately on modern musical transcribing programs. These scores are included as PNG images, and can be seen by clicking on the [PNG] tag in the HTML version of the book. Obvious punctuation and other printing errors have been corrected. The cover art included with this eBook has been modified from the original by the Transcriber and is granted to the public domain. * * * * * THE ART OF MUSIC The Art of Music A Comprehensive Library of Information for Music Lovers and Musicians Editor-in-Chief DANIEL GREGORY MASON Columbia University Associate Editors EDWARD B.
