Included in this well-chosen show of the best of Beardsley's interesting, but unsatisfying, graphics are two paintings, by Burne-Jones and Albert Moore, demonstrating the Pre-Raphaelites' influence on him.

The composer faces the choices of breaking definitely with the musical past; or creating a new mainstream of music by appealing to the pre-Palestrina composers; or deliberately continuing in the traditions of the great classical and romantic composers, risking invidious comparisons...
