Description
Excerpt from Music in America
This new edition Of Music in America has been much enriched by important historical matter. Besides the addition Of two new chapters - bringing the work up to the present time - several gaps, which, for want of the desired correct information necessarily occurred in the first edition, are now filled up. Thus the history Of the new-york Philharmonic Society is now as complete as the form Of my book seems to require; the Opera in its divers phases Of evolution is treated in detail; the progress of the cultivation of instrumental (orchestral) music is traced through several cities, East and West and due attention has been given to the musical labors of the public schools and singing-societies, and to other points where music, as an aesthetic factor, enters public and social life.
