unreservedly commended to the attention of student and expert, while

element of Tchaikovski's music will make a very strong appeal, are
met."--_Standard._

=CÉSAR FRANCK: A STUDY.=
Translated from the French of Vincent d'Indy.
With an Introduction by ROSA NEWMARCH.
_Demy 8vo (9x5-3/4 inches), 7s. 6d. net_. _Postage 5d. extra._
There is no purer influence in modern music than that of César Franck,
for many years ignored in every capacity save that of organist of
Sainte-Clotilde, in Paris, but now recognised as the legitimate
successor of Bach and Beethoven. His inspiration, "rooted in love and
faith," has contributed in a remarkable degree to the regeneration
of the musical art in France and elsewhere. The now famous "Schola
Cantorum," founded in Paris in 1896, by A. Guilmant, Charles Bordes,
and Vincent d'Indy, is the direct outcome of his influence. Among the
artists who were in some sort his disciples were Paul Dukas, Chabrier,
Gabriel Fauré, and the great violinist Ysäye. His pupils include such
gifted composers as Benoît, Augusta Holmès, Chausson, Ropartz, and
d'Indy. This book, written with the devotion of a disciple and the
authority of a master, leaves us with a vivid and touching impression
of the saint-like composer of "The Beatitudes."

of song is thought."--_Spectator._

Interest in the life and in the music of Edward Macdowell, now
generally regarded as the greatest composer America has produced, has
increased steadily since his untimely death. This work is an extensive
biographical and critical study of Macdowell by Lawrence Gilman, whose
sympathetic comprehension of the composer's art was evidenced in his
short monograph, in the Living Masters of Music series, published a
few years ago. The new book is based upon the previous study, but it
has been completely revised and enlarged by the addition of abundant
new material.
