Besides possessing this tone they have a peculiar feature in that they actually improve with use. Established in 1842. Booklets of information. Hardman, Peck <§>f Co., Makers Ftoh Avenue and 19th Street, New York Brooklyn .... No. 524 Fulton Street Suite in D major, No. 3 Johann Sebastian Bach (Born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died at Uipsic, July 28, 1750.) This suite is one of four which were probably composed during Bach's stay at Cothen (,717-23) whither he was called zs chapel-miter to Prince Leopold, of Anhalt-Cothen. The prince was then nearly twenty- four years old, an amiable, well-educated young man, who had travelled and was fond of books and pictures. He played the violin, the viol da gamba, and the harpsichord. Furthermore, he had an agreeable bass voice, and was more than an ordinary singer. Bach said of him "He loved music, he was well "' acquainted with it, he understood it The music at the court was chiefly chamber music, and here Bach passed happy years. Unfortunately, we know nothing of the character of the choir or the orchestra at this court; nor was the indefatigable Spitta able to find even a mention of Bach in the town records, except in a few notices scattered through the parish registers. The term "suite" was not given by Bach to the four compositions that now are so named,—the suites in C major, B minor, and two in D major. He used the word "ouverture." The separate dances of old German suites were called "Parties," yPartheyen." They were brought together into a musical whole and in the same tonality, and they were prefixed by an overture in the French style. The whole set was sometimes known as "Orchester Partien." The form of the overture fixed by Lully in France served as a model for pieces of the same class composed in Germany and in Italy, as well as in France. This overture was composed of a first part, which was a slow movement, characterized as "grave," connected with a second part, which was longer and of a livelier movement. The overture was generally completed by a repetition of the first move- ment. The first suites which appeared between 1670 and 1680 were written for a solo instrument, especially for the harpsichord; but the title soon served to designate pieces written for a considerable number of instruments. The overture was followed by airs of dances which were then popular or fashionable. No wonder that Bach, whose father, p The Element of PIANOFORTE TECHNIC RHSB.r By RALPH H. BELLAIRS, Mus. Doc. Oxon. This work approaches the study of the pianoforte from an entirely new point of view. The simultaneous development of the rhythmical with the mechanical side of pianoforte playing constitutes its subject. It has received endorsement in the highest quarters, and may be accepted as the latest utterance in connection with scientific pianoforte technique. The section devoted to scale-playing alone will illustrate this fact. have In framing this work, the eminent labours of Tausig, Pischna, and von Bulow received the greatest appreciation. Thus, from the earliest stage transposition has been as well as of key has been sedulously eschewed, freely adopted ; but monotony of rhythm and herein lies the novelty of treatment. are — The points of immediate import which have been consistently kept in view : The normal musical sentence, as most commonly found in instrumental music.

SECOND EDITION ELSONS Music Dictionary By LOUIS C. ELSON England Conservatory of Music Professor of Theory of Music at the Nem Ever since Tinctor, about 1475, wrote tne an endless first music dictionary, there has been succession of books dealing with musical defini- the tions. This is but natural and proper, since musical art is constantly changing. A music dictionary, unless frequently revised, easily drops behind the times. There are no obsolete terms in Elson's Music Dictionary, but every necessary word is included, with its pronunciation. By pronuncia- tion is meant a phonetic spelling in the English language, not merely accent marks. This ap- plies as well to composers' names ; for instance, Rachmaninoff = Ra.chh-mahn -nee-noff In addition to 289 pages containing the defi- nitions and pronunciations of all the terms and signs that are used in modern music, are the following Rules for pronouncing Italian, German, and French. A list of popular errors and doubtful terms in music. A list of prominent foreign composers, artists, etc., with their chief works, the pronunciation of their names, and the date of their birth and death. A short vocabulary of English musical terms with their Italian equivalents. The rules for pronunciation will enable the student to pronounce not only the musical terms, but every word in either of the three languages. Such terms as Pitch," " Sonata," " Tempera- ment," "Turn," "Scale," "Organ," u Notation," "Form," "Key," etc., are explained at length. In some cases from three to four pages are devoted to a single word. On important subjects full biblio- graphical references are given. The book comprises 306 pages, and is bound in serviceable cloth covers. PRICE, POSTPAID, $1.00. COPIES SENT FOR EXAMINATION OLIVER DITSON COMPANY, Boston CHARLES H. DITSON & CO., New York J. E.
