Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from The Craftsman, Vol. 29: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine in the Interest of Better Art, Better Work, and a Better and More Reasonable Way of Living; October, 1915 March, 1916

And without the slightest assistance he was able to write the score from memory. It is safe however to say that not all children in America are Mozarts and that a knowledge of music must be gained inch by inch through most exhaustive study. In my estimation it is not sufficient for children to hear a symphony of Beethoven, a Mozart sonata; they should know it by heart; they should study it so that it is a part of their very artistic consciousness. Then they should be taken to concerts where such music is beautifully played in order to acquire a standard of the best possible presentation of the sonata and the symphony which they have learned to love. It is not enough to have the little ability to reproduce music on some instrument before a group of people publicly or privately; you must study it until you understand it, love it and want to hear it again and again for the refreshment of your soul.
