Book Description
Excerpt from The New England Conservatory Course in General Sight Reading Solfeggio is the study of tones. Ear-training is the development of the power to produce any tone at will and to recognize the same when heard. Sight-reading is the ability to hear, mentally, the tones of a musical composition, as they are rep resented in notes on the staff, by looking at them, as one reads a book and without appealing to the ear. It is the province of Solfeggio and Ear-training to make Sight-readers. Sight-reading finds its practical application, for the vocalist, in sight-singing, for the instrumentalist, in sight-playing. Tones may be presented to the mind, through the eye by means of the notes on the stafi or through the musical instrument with which one is most familiar, as when one looks at the key-board of a piano or organ and imagines the tones which may be there produced. The English speaking world has adopted at least two sets Of names for tones the letters C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The letters tend to individualize the tones: the numbers to relate them. It is the collection of seven tones called the major scale, and not any single tone thereof, from which has arisen the vast whole of music as known to the civilized world; therefore the numbers, which represent the relation Of tones, (the letters represent individual tones with out regard to their relation to other tones), are most important and far-reaching in their usefulness to the musician.

Book Description
"The Victorian cup on my shelf--a present from my mother--reads 'Love the Giver.' Is it because the very word patronage implies the authority of the father that we have treated American women patrons and activists so unlovingly in the writing of our own history? This pioneering collection of superb scholarship redresses that imbalance. At the same time it brilliantly documents the interrelationship between various aspects of gender and the creation of our own culture."--Judith Tick, author of Ruth Crawford Seeger: A Composer's Search for American Music "Together with the fine-grained and energetic research, I like the spirit of this book, which is ambitious, bold, and generous minded. Cultivating Music in America corrects long-standing prejudices, omissions, and misunderstandings about the role of women in setting up the structures of America's musical life, and, even more far-reaching, it sheds light on the character of American musical life itself. To read this book is to be brought to a fresh understanding of what is at stake when we discuss notions such as 'elitism, ' 'democratic taste, ' and the political and economic implications of art."--Richard Crawford, author of The American Musical Landscape "We all know we are indebted to royal patronage for the music of Mozart. But who launched American talent? The answer is women, this book teaches us. Music lovers will be grateful for these ten essays, sound in scholarship, that make a strong case for the women philanthropists who ought to join Carnegie and Rockefeller as household words as sponsors of music."--Karen J. Blair, author of The Torchbearers: Women and Their Amateur Arts Associations in America
