"An undertaking which," says W.S. HENDERSON, in _The
Atlantic Monthly_, "will suffice for many years to come, and will
remain for all time a monument to the learning, patience, and
judgment of the editor."
_A New Edition_
_Revised and greatly enlarged of_
Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians
EDITED BY
J.A. FULLER MAITLAND, M.A., F.S.A.
In five 8vo volumes, each illustrated with a photogravure
and twenty-four full-page half-tone plates, besides many
illustrations in the text.
"Unquestionably the most valuable work of the kind in English, and
at present superior to any other in any language, considering its
encyclopædic character and the substantial quality of its most
important articles."--_The New York Times._
"The best and most comprehensive dictionary of music is still the
pioneer one.... Grove's 'Dictionary of Music and Musicians' has
become a standard work without a rival."--_The Review of Reviews._

"Mr. Mason has brought the same clear thought, suggestiveness and
philosophic spirit to bear upon this subject as he exhibited in his
former volume, and the result is a treatment that will be found
stimulating by all who approach music as something more than a mere
sensuous pleasure."--_Richard Aldrich in The Music Review._
The Romantic Composers
_12mo, cloth, $1.75 net_
The composers treated are Schubert, connecting link between
Beethoven and the "romantic" school; Schumann, who created
a new type of piano music; Mendelssohn, who anticipated
the orchestral style of to-day; Chopin, the supreme master
of the pianoforte; Berlioz, the pioneer of the dramatic
symphony and a virtuoso of the orchestra; and Liszt, who
contributed to music that form,--the symphonic poem,--most
persistently cultivated by modern musicians.
"Mr. Daniel Mason is a critic of music whose deliverances one may
not ignore. Since the appearance, four years ago, of his volume of
studies in modern music, from Grieg to Brahms, he has been recognized
as an uncommonly able commentator upon the most difficult and evasive
of the arts. He has scholarship, he is penetrating and alert, and he
is master of a style at once dignified and engaging, distinguished
and precise."--_Bookman._
