Excerpt from Music and Some Highly Musical PeopleThe purposes of this volume will be so very apparent to even the most casual Observer, as to render an extended explanation here unnecessary. The author will therefore only say, that he has endeavored faithft to perform what he was convinced was a much-needed service, not so much, perhaps, to the cause of music itself, as to some of its noblest devotees and the race to which the latter belong.The inseparable relationship existing between music and its worthy exponents gives, it is believed, full showing Of pro priety to the course hereinafter pursued, - that of mingling the praises of both. But, in truth, there was little need to speak in praise of music. Its tones of melody and harmony require only to be heard in order to awaken in the breast emotions the most delightful. And yet who can speak at all Of an agency so charming in other than words of warmest praise? Again: if music be a thing of such consummate beauty, what else can be done but to tender an offering of praise, and even Of gratitude, to those, who, by the invention Of most pleasing combinations Of tones, melodies, and harmonies, or by great skill in vocal or instrumental performance, so signally help us to the fullest understanding and enjoyment of it?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
