Catalogue Of The Allen A Brown Collection Of Music Vol 1

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Allen A. Brown Collection of Music, Vol. 1: In the Public Library of the City of Boston Many of the volumes, which are attractively and harmoniously bound, contain insertions that greatly enhance their value. These insertions sometimes contain accounts of the composer whose work appears in the volume; sometimes they are devoted to criticisms of the work and of its rendering as viewed by different critics at different times, or even at the same performance: thus furnishing impor tant side-lights on many a musical career, as well as on the art itself. There are, too, many bound volumes of programmes which represent performances in different parts of the world - memoranda that might seem of the slightest and briefest significance. Yet once preserved, they are not negligible as records of when and how certain musical works were produced; they form a real part of the material from which history is written.
