Modern Musicians A Book for Players Singers and Listeners
Author: J. Cuthbert Hadden

MODERN MUSICIANS A BOOK FOR PLAYERS SINGERS LISTENERS BY J. CUTHBERT H ADDEN AUTHOR OF MASTER MUSICIANS, ETC. T. N. FOULIS LONDON W EDINBURGH 1914 Pint Edition Published October tgrj, Reprinted Jutyty 4, riflWd by BAU. ANTVNK, UANKON A 4 Co, tit the Bktlantyne PM Edinburgh I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO MY FRIEND MISS DOROTHY WARD a 2 PREFACE THIS is a... more » companion volume to the writers Master Musicians, published in 1909. Like that work, it con cerns itself rather with the musicians themselves than with their compositions or their achievements. It does not profess to be technical indeed, it explicitly avoids the technical, though there is aperhaps excusable sug gestion of the technical in the opening chapters. More over, the author does not claim to have made a com plete, or probably even the best possible selection, of names. Space is limited and to have included all the namesfamiliarto the musical public, wouldhavemeant the book resolving itself into a series of dictionary notices-That kind of thing was never in the authors mind, and is repugnant to him. Here, in a word, are simply some chapters n in in timate musical biography written in a popular style, and meant chiefly for popular reading. The collecting of materials has naturally been diffi cult, since, with one or two exceptions, no books have been published on the various personalities dealt with. I am greatly indebted to the musical magazines of the last ten or twelve years, and, especially as regards the violinists and cellists, to The Strad, I gratefully mention also the works of the American writer, Mr. Henry C, Lahee, on Pianists, Singers, and Violinists.
