1PREFACE.
3The Three Musical Essays contained in this volume originally appeared in certain local journals.
5The first, on The Great Composers, was put together as a Lecture, and read in the Assembly Rooms at Weymouth.
7The second is a humble attempt to point out the leading characteristics of the greatest violinists of this age, commencing with Viotti, the actual founder of the modern school of violin-playing.
9The third was penned as a Review of a popular work on the History of the Violin.
11It is hoped these imperfect and sketchy notes, now reproduced in a more permanent form, may find favour with intelligent musicians.
