DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Concise Dictionary of Musical Terms: To Which Is Prefixed an Introduction to the Elements of Music That a few months after the publication of the "Concise Dictionary of Musical Terms" a Second Edition was already called for could not but be gratifying to the Author, and spur him on to improve his work as much as he was able. The Second Edition which I now lay before the public differs from the First by a complementary Appendix, by a few corrections of misprints, and by some additions to and emendations of the original matter. I shall take advantage of this opportunity, and say a word or two about the plan of the work. This explanation of my intention will at the same time serve as a direction to the reader how to use the "Concise Dictionary." My chief endeavour in writing the book was to give the most exact information in the fewest possible words. I prefixed an "Introduction to the Elements of Music" to the "Concise Dictionary" because this enabled me to refer in many short articles to complete expositions of the branches of musical theory in question, and thus to avoid, on the one hand, repetitions and, on the other hand, obscurity and fragmentariness. The length of some articles as compared with that of others may at first sight appear excessive, but, I think, a closer examination will show that the importance of the subjects or the haziness of the knowledge that prevails about them justifies the apparent disproportion.
