"Throughout the textbook we have tried as far as possible to avoid the use of technical language. For example, the term "fall group" is used instead of "thesis" and "rise group" instead of "arsis." Even in treating the nature of a Latin word the term "rise" is sometimes adopted for the accented syllable and "fall" for the grave syllable of a word. The translations of the Greek and Latin names for the neumes are supplied as a teaching aid since the picture conjured up by the English word is more graphic than the foreign term, especially in the teaching of younger students." Name on free front endpaper. A few stains on the front cover show up worse in the scan than they really are. Overall condition is very good, tight and clean. 8vo. 8-7/8" x 5-15/16". Blue cloth covered boards stamped in gold. 148 pp. including index. Seller Inventory # 1623
