BRAINARD’S SONS CoO. 246 Summer Street, BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO, ILL. JUST PUBLISHED G. SCHIRMER NEW YORK FOUNDERS OF MUSIC Life Sketches for Young Readers BY HANNAH SMITH J2mo. pp. 149. Price, $1.50 net. Miss Smith is one of the most skilful and success- ful of those who have aided in spreading a popu- lar knowledge of music and musicians. This little book is a charming union of biographical and technical exposition admirably adapted for the “young readers’’ for whom it is intended. Miss Smith’s method is to connect each of the great composers with the province of art in which he was especially prominent, explaining in suggestive fashion, and in the simplest language possible, the peculiarities of that province. Thus she begins with Palestrina, whose work is made the text fora brief explanation of vocal counterpoint, and the reform introduced by him in church music. Bach brings in the development of instrumental music, particularly of thefugue. ‘The reform of the opera is suggested by the life of Gluck; the development of the romantic spirit in music by that of Weber and of Schumann, and soon, It isall charmingly, simply done, with the delicate touch of one who knows her subject thoroughly, and also knows the right turn, the right spirit to interest young minds ; and above all, the value of brevity and the right place to stop. Miss Smith has made the biographical part of her subject picturesque and entertaining by the free use of characteristic anecdote and salient facts ; while in her technical explanations she has contrived to give clear ideas in the simplest and briefest language. There are thirteen biographies ; each one is accompanied by a carefully drawn and characteristic portrait in line. The Ring of the Nibelung An Interpretation, Embodying Wagner’s Own Explanations BY ALICE LEIGHTON CLEATHER AND BASIL CRUMP With Frontispiece. 12mo. pp. 146. Price, 75 cents net. This little volume is far removed from the numerous handbooks and “ guides’? that have been written on Wagner's great trilogy. It is really an ‘‘interpretation,’’ a discussion of the motives, the structure, the dramatic value and the ethical signifi- cance of the great music dramas, from a higher literary and musical plane. The development of the dramas is closely followed, and the thematic structure is fully illustrated by the use of musical quotations, The distinguishing characteristic of the book, however, is the lavish quotation made of Wagner’s own words in commenting upon or ex- pounding his Nibelung Trilogy. His voluminous writings have been searched and the right words taken for the right places with remarkable skill andinsight. ‘The result isa view of Wagner's work, as it were, from his own standpoint, such as no other book of the kind has ever given, Send for our NEW PIANO TEACHER’sS GUIDE. 187 pages.
