Grove?s Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Vol. 6: American Supplement (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Vol. 6: American Supplement
The Editor and the Associate Editor wish to express their great obligation to the host of correspondents who have courteously supplied both material and encourage ment. They can only regret that certain lines of inquiry, though somewhat earnestly pursued, proved surprisingly fruitless, so that many topics marked for inclusion, at last had tgfi be treated superficially or omitted altogether.
Throughout the volume the words 'america' and 'american' are Often used Of the United States and Canada taken together. Canadian musicians are here counted with those of the United States, not only because no other course was seemly in an American extension of a work originally published in Great Britain, but also because the cordial fraternity in musical art on this side of the ocean has always disregarded the political frontier that stretches across the continent. To a very limited extent, furthermore, it has been possible to include some representative names from Central and South America. In the Register all who were born outside of the United States and Canada, whether in Europe or in other parts of the Americas, are designated by a Special sign.
Inasmuch as the latest edition of Grove's Dictionary was issued ten to fifteen years ago, the publishers desired that this volume should include continuations of those articles that relate to the more conspicuous foreign musicians, as well as notices of some that for any reason were previously omitted. Accordingly, in the Dictionary proper will be found statements regarding more than a hundred musicians who are entirely outside the American field. All these articles are indicated by a special sign.
