=NOTES ON THE INTERPRETATION OF 24 FAMOUS PIANO SONATAS OF BEETHOVEN.=
By J. ALFRED JOHNSTONE (_author of_ "The Art of Teaching Piano Playing,"
"Piano Touch, Phrasing and Interpretation," etc.). Portrait, crown 8vo,
cloth, 12s. 6d. _net_.
=BEETHOVEN.= By RICHARD WAGNER. With a Supplement from the Philosophical
Works of Arthur Schopenhauer. Translated by EDWARD DANNREUTHER. Third
Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 12s. _net_.
"It is a plain duty to be familiar and even intimate with the
opinion of one famous man about another. Gladly therefore we
welcome Mr. Dannreuther's translation of the work before us. Mr.
Dannreuther has achieved his task with the conscientiousness of his
nature and with a success due to much tact and patience."--_Musical
Times._
"This work contains his contributions towards the metaphysics of
music, if, indeed, such can be said to exist. Apart, however, from
metaphysics, the work is an exposition of Wagner's thoughts on the
significance of Beethoven's music."--_Grove's Dictionary._
=BORODIN THE COMPOSER AND HIS MUSIC.= A Descriptive and Critical
Analysis of his Works and a Study of his Value as an Art Force. With
many references to the Russian Kouchka Circle of Five--Balakirev,
Moussorgsky, César Cui and Rimsky-Korsakov, with Borodin. By G. E. H.
ABRAHAM. With 5 Portraits. Thick crown 8vo, cloth, 15s. _net_.

=LIFE OF CHOPIN. By FRANZ LISZT.= New and very much Enlarged Edition.
Translated in full now for the first time by JOHN BROADHOUSE. Second
Edition, Corrected. Crown 8vo, cloth, 10s. _net_.
"Franz Liszt has written a charming sketch of Chopin's life and
art."--_Encyclopædia Britannica._
"Liszt's criticisms upon his separate works have all the eloquent
mysticisms to be expected from him; and the biography is a book
musicians will always prize."--_Sunday Times._
GEORGE SAND describes it as "un peu exuberent en style, mais rempli de
bonnes choses et de très belles pages."
=CHOPIN, HIS LIFE AND LETTERS.= By MORITZ KARASOWSKI. Translated by
EMILY HILL. Third Edition, with additional Letters in Polish with
English translation, Chopin to Grzymala, and extra Illustrations.
Fourteen Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth, 21s. _net_.
Karasowski was a close friend of the family of Chopin and was
intimate with them for several years. He was given access to the
letters, many of which were subsequently destroyed during the
Warsaw insurrection, written by Chopin to his family in Poland
throughout his life abroad. These facts give this work particular
value, and to it we are also indebted for valuable information
regarding Chopin's life.
