About this book
W. J. Baltzell's A Complete History of Music, for schools, clubs and private reading, was printed at Philadelphia in 1908, with contributions credited to H. A. Clarke, Arthur Elson, Clarence G. Hamilton, Edward Burlingame Hill, Arthur L. Judson, Frederic S. Law and Preston Ware Orem. It has portraits, pictures of instruments and musical examples. The preface describes paragraph headings to be fixed in mind and questions at the end of each lesson to test the pupils' mastery.
A passage on early peoples describes clay tablets from Babylonian ruins that show musicians with a harp of eleven strings, a reed pipe and a metal plate struck with a hammer, and a festival procession in the palace of Sennacherib. A passage on Mozart records his views on touch and tempo in piano playing and his lack of sympathy with pianists such as Clementi.
