Excerpt from The Art of the Player-Piano: A Text-Book for Student and Teacher I have assumed that the student has no ability to read music. The course of instruction, however, gradually supplies facts and principles of musical notation which will in the end enable the student to find his way about printed music, and to observe the many details of the pieces which I have not been able to mention. The intellectual effort required in Chapters XXV - XXIX is slightly less than that required in the study of instrumentation, canon, building construction, algebra, and so on but it requires the same qualities and similar determination. I am happy to acknowledge unusual indebtedness to G. W. F. Reed, Esq., and to express warm gratitude. And I thank my wife for her patient consideration during the putting together of the book, and for her selection of the pieces used in an important chapter.
