Just As We Did Twenty Years Ago, We Shall Agree All At Once, I Am Certain, In The Generality Of Cases; And, More Than We Were Then, Shall We Each Of Us Be In A Position To Make Further Steps Forward In The Exoteric Region Of Art.

- For the present allow me, at the risk of often repeating myself hereafter, to compliment you most sincerely on your volume, which will be a chosen book and a work of predilection for people of taste, and particularly for those who feel and understand music.

Artists and amateurs, professors and pupils, critics and virtuosi; composers and theorists - all will have something to gain from it, and a part to take in this feast of attractive instruction that you have prepared for them. What ingenious traits, what living touches, what well-dealt blows, what new and judiciously adapted imagery should I not have to quote, were I to enter in detail into your pages, so different from what one usually reads on similar subjects! In your arguments, and in the intrinsic and extrinsic proofs you adduce, what weight - without heaviness, what solidity - without stiffness, of strong and wholesome criticism - without pedantry! Ideas are plentiful in this by turns incisive, brilliant, reflected, and spontaneous style, in which learning comes in to enhance and steady the flow of a lively and luxuriant imagination. To all the refinement and subtle divination common to Slavic genius, you ally the patient research and learned scruples which characterize the German explorer.
