Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short History of English Music
It is an attempt to give a simple and rational, though in a volume of this size, necessarily incomplete, account of events that have led to the complex state of music existing in England at the present time.
Should it offer nothing to the musician or historian, I hope it will be found of interest to the general reader.
The desire to make each chapter as complete, on the subject with which it deals, as space would permit, has necessitated a certain amount of repetition, but I trust that the object will con done the fault.
