The Opera, Past And Present: An Historical Sketch (1901)
No sheet music included.
"In writing the present Historical Sketch of the Opera, I have thrown the whole weight of my endeavour upon giving a clear and connected account of the first establishment and gradual evolution of this form of art, and upon pointing out the general quasi-philosophical rationale of the same. I have, accordingly, considered different schools, composers and works far more with reference to the influence exerted by them in furthering, or retarding, this evolution than to their intrinsic excellence. I have let the historical scythe swing high, cutting off only the most significant heads ; and the most significant have not always been those the world calls greatest." (Preface)
