Publisher's Synopsis
Deals with rhythm as a means of expression.
"To prove this assertion is the main object of Mr. Williams' book. He has much to say about accents, phrasing, anacrusis, tempo, pauses, rests, staccato, rubato, and divers other points; but the value of his volume lies chiefly in the emphasizing of this expressional aspect of rhythm. Players will find this book a valuable aid to the appreciation of modern music."
-The Nation
"His book is both clever and instructive."
-The Athenaeum
"That it will be useful to students is more than we care to say, and of course, it is far beyond the grasp of most amateurs."
-Saturday Review
