BY FRANKLIN TAYLOR. EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. In the course of my experience as a teacher of the pianoforte, an experience extending over many years, certain ideas have from time to time suggested themselves to me which have proved useful-to myself, as enabling me to express more clearly that which I desired my pupils to understand, and to my pupils, as tending to facilitate their comprehension of the various difficulties they have had to encounter, at the same time leading them to perceive the most practical means of overcoming them, and thus accelerating their general rate of progress. These suggestions relate to both the mechanical and intellectual sides of the study of pianoforte-playing, or briefly, to Technique and Expression, the chief matters implied by the first of these terms being the production of various qualities of tone, the choice of suitable fingering, and the best methods of attacking certain difficulties; while the second, which may perhaps be more aptly designated the means of expression, includes rhythm, phrasing, variety, and gradation of tone, the use of the pedals, et cætera. WITH NUMEROUS MUSICAL EXAMPLES FROM THE WORKS OF THE GREAT MASTERS. PRICE, CLOTH, Gilt, Five Shillings. London: NOVELLO and COMPANY, Limited. Just Published. NEW AND REVISED EDITION. THE ORGAN BY JOHN STAINER. EDITED BY JOHN E. WEST. An important feature of the present Edition of this invaluable and popular Organ Primer is the adoption of the now universally recognized system of fingering-1.2.3.4.5., which is here substituted for the older system-X.1.2.3.4.-in all cases where fingering is marked. In the explanatory portion of the book, opportunity has been taken of briefly mentioning one or two of the principal additions and improvements to the instrument which have been made since the book was first issued. Bearing in mind that the Author's aim was to assist, in as concise a manner as possible, the early steps of an organ student, the Editor has refrained from adding any further exercises or pieces to those which were already given. But the addition of a few extra fingering and phrasing marks seemed necessary here and there, and, in the five concluding pieces, the laying-out of one or two of the manual passages has been rendered clearer to the player's eye by means of a slight re-staving. The admirable explanations and diagrams of the TubularPneumatic and Electric actions have been supplied by Mr. L. Simon, of Messrs. Norman & Beard, Ltd. Price Two Shillings.

Op. 74 4 6 2 3 6 "Must be classed as one of the finest works in modern organ literature. The first movement is practically in usual Sonata form. The development section is particularly brilliant, and the quiet cadence leading into the recapitulation is of arresting beauty." "The slow movement, in the nature of a chaconne, is beautiful and restful. A brilliant cadenza leads to an exciting introduction to a most interesting triple fugue (confined to manuals). Afterwards the composer works backwards through the sections preceding the fugue, unwinding himself, as it were, before starting on a magnificent Coda befitting a magnificent work."-Daily Mail. 2 о LAUDY & Co., 86, NEWMAN STREET, OXFORD ST., LONDON, W. 2 о TENUNC DIMITTIS in F. This Primer is intended more especially for those who purpose presenting themselves for examination in the theory of music. While the subjects dealt with may be found in all examination schemes for musical degrees and diplomas, it is hoped that the following chapters may prove useful more especially to candidates for the diplomas of the Royal College of Organists. The object of this book is to stimulate and cultivate method in answering examination questions. Considerable experience as an examination "coach" has proved the success of the method, herein followed, of dissecting the questions, and-by dividing the points for consideration under several heads-thus directing the student's attention to one point at a time.

Price Two Shillings. In Paper Boards, Two Shillings and Sixpence. It is a valuable sketch of a highly specialised subject, and none the less practical because seasoned with humour. The various instruments and their idiosyncrasies are tersely described, and their collective use is admirably illustrated.-Yorkshire Post. No one is more worthy to speak on such a subject than Lieut. George Miller, and the book is one of great value.--Cheltenham Looker-On. From this book it is possible to learn the compass and capabilities of each instrument. The explanations are admirably lucid and suggestive; and the final chapters, showing how a work composed originally for the concert-orchestra-Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony-can effectively be arranged for the military band, teaches more than all the text-books. We heartily commend this most excellent book.-Saturday Review. London: NOVELLO AND COMPANY, Limited. No. 84. NOVELLO'S MUSIC PRIMERS and EDUCATIONAL SERIES. EQUAL TEMPERAMENT IN THEORY AND PRACTICE.
