These enable the musician to do a good deal of practical and theoretical study, but their...
...have thus undertaken to discuss it, and will be particularly gratified to recognize that in so doing they have caught something of his own rare spirit. His own attitude--judicial but generous, frank but reverent, cultivated but strong--is reflected in their essays concerning his. Nor does one note as much difference as one would expect between the style of the master and that of his disciples: the number is well written throughout, and in parts shows true distinction...
