_As "Music and Spain" is printed from the original plates I have made only slight typographical changes in the text; some of these are important, however. But I have added very voluminous notes incorporating information that has come to me since I wrote "Music and Spain." There is much new material included therein about Spanish dancing and modern composers and the index will make it possible for any one to find what he may be looking for in short order. The essay on_ Carmen_, too, was written for this book and that on_ The Land of Joy_, being entirely apposite, I have lifted from "The Merry-Go-Round." Mr. John Garrett Underhill has suggested many valuable changes and additions and I am deeply indebted to him._ _The preparation of this book has given me an extraordinary interest in and a real love for the Iberian Peninsula. If I have succeeded in communicating a little of this feeling to my reader I shall be content._ CARL VAN VECHTEN. _New York, June 26, 1918._ CONTENTS PAGE SPAIN AND MUSIC 13 _The Land of Joy_ 91 FROM GEORGE BORROW TO MARY GARDEN 105 NOTES ON THE TEXT 145 ILLUSTRATIONS MARY GARDEN AS CARMEN, ACT IV _Frontispiece_ Facing Page TARQUINIA TARQUINI AS CONCHITA 24 LA ARGENTINA 36 TOMÁS BRETÓN 80 DOLORETES 96 ZULOAGA'S PORTRAIT OF LUCIENNE BRÉVAL AS CARMEN, ACT II 130 OLIVE FREMSTAD AS CARMEN, ACT I 136 AMADEO VIVES 186 Spain and Music "_Il faut méditerraniser la musique._" Nietzsche.
