MUSICIANS AND WSIC-LOVERS AND OTHEE ESSAYS BT WILLIAM FOSTER APTHOKP FIFTH BDIttOS NEW TOEK CHABLES SOEIBNEBS SONS 1908 COPYRIGHT. 1894, BY CHAKLES SCKIBNERS SONS So HENEY BARKER TTm PKEFACE OF the essays included in this volume, four JoJiann Sebastian Bach, Additional Accompani ments to Bachs and Handels Scores, Two Mo dern Classicists, and John Sullivan Dwight have already been published. The one on Bach origi nally given as a lecture at the Lowell Institute in Boston, in the course of the winter of 1886-87 appeared in the COKTEMPOEAET EEVIEW for Sep tember, 1891 the one on Additional Accompani ments, in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY for September, 1878 the one on Two Modern Classicists Robert Franz and Otto Dresel was published in two parts in the same magazine for October and November, 1893 that on John Sullivan Dwight appeared on the day of his death, September 5, 1893, as an obituary notice in the BOSTON EVBIOTG TBAN-SCKIPT. Musicians and Music-Lovers is taken in part from an article of the same title that appeared in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY for February, 1879, and in part from a lecture on Musical Criticism, given PEEFAOE at the Lowell Institute in the same course as the one on Bach. Some Thoughts on Musical Criti cism formed part of the same lecture. The essay Music and Science is for the most part new, al though some portions of it are taken from another lecture, on Evolution in Music, given at the Lowell Institute. The essays on G-iacomo Meyerbeer and Jacques Offenbach originally appeared in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY for October, 1879, and the INTEBKA TIOSTAL KEVIEW for March, 1881, respectively. Both have been rewritten, and, especially the one on Meyerbeer, considerably extended for publication here. Although I still fully hold all the opi nions expressed in them, it will be well for the reader to bear in mind the dates at which these two essays, and the one on Additional Accompani ments, were first written. For some points in the last-named essay I would here thankfully express my obligation to Mr. Julius Schaeffers two admi rable pamphlets, Friedrich Chrysander in seinen Clavier auszug en zur deutschen Hdndel-Ausgabe, and Seb. Bachs Cantate Sie werden aus Saba Alle kommen in den Ausgaben von Robert Franz und dem Levpziger Bach - Verein. W, F. A. BAB HABBOB, Me., June 28, 1894. TABLE OF CONTENTS PAOB I.
