Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xii, 306 pages. Illustrations (including musical symbols). Name in ink on fep. Cover has soiling and wear along the edges as well as some tearing. Front board lose at page iii. Rear board has some weakness after page 306. . No dust jacket present. Contains the definition and pronunciation of such terms and signs as are used in modern music, together with a list of foreign composers and artists, with a pronunciation of their names, a list of popular errors in music, rules for pronouncing foreign words, and a short English-Italian Vocabulary of musical words and expressions. Louis Charles Elson was an American music historian, (b. Boston, April 17, 1848; d. there, Feb. 14, 1920). He studied voice with Kreissmann at Boston and theory with Karl Gloggner Castelli in Leipzig. Returning to Boston, he was music editor of the Boston Advertiser (1886-1920); was a teacher (from 1880) and head of the theory dept. (from 1881) at the New England Conservatory of Music. He was editor-in-chief of the University Encyclopedia of Music (10 vols., 1912). In his music criticism, he attacked the modernists with eloquence, reserving the choicest criticism for Debussy; he called La Mer "Le Mai de Mer," and said that the faun of L'Apres-midi d'unfaune needed a veterinary surgeon. His widow endowed a memorial fund for the presentation of lectures on music at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., in 1945. Ever since Tinctor, about 1475, wrote the first music dictionary -- the "Terminorum Musicae Diffinitorium" -- there has been an endless succession of books dealing with musical definitions. This is but natural and proper, since the musical art is constantly changing, and a music dictionary, unless frequently revised, easily drops behind the times. The author has endeavored, in these pages, to bring together and classify such material as the modern music teacher or student needs to have at hand in an accessible shape, and to give, as far as possible, the latest developments in the field. As the average teacher is often timid in the matter of pronouncing foreign words, an English phonetic spelling has been added in almost every instance. Yet it will be best for the student to familiarize himself with the rules for pronouncing each language (which are also given) since it is sometimes impossible to reproduce the exact sound of a foreign word in any English spelling. An attempt has also been made to give the pronunciation of the names of the chief composers, singers, pianists, conductors, etc. These points, and the presentation of some of the chief popular errors in music, the addition of a list of works of reference for the most important topics, and the inclusion of some of the most recent details of research, may be sufficient excuse for the making of yet one more music dictionary. - Preface.
