Originally published in 1892. This book being designed as a basis for oralteaching contains no musical illustrations and many statements are condensedto a single phrase which in a manual for self instruction would need perhaps awhole paragraph. It is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject withmuch of the information still useful and practical today. Many of the earliestbooks particularly those dating back to 1900s and before are now extremelyscarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works inaffordable high quality modern editions using the original text and artwork. «
