Excerpt from The Rules of Counterpoint: Systematically Arranged for the Use of Young Students We trust our readers will think seriously of this, and not imagine that any amount of time they give to the study of Counterpoint can possibly be thrown away. It cannot have been by virtue of a mere meaningless coincidence, that Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, first worked so hard at the self-same exercises, and afterwards produced all their wonderful works.

While he remains in ignorance of the First Principles of Art, w.1 counsel our readers to study these First Principles as diligently as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven studied them, in the days of their tutelage.
