Rese�a del editor:

Schubert, less than a century ago, to practically create theL ied, or lyric art-song. In the first two chapters of this volume I have endeavored to answer this question. The great composers and singers were so busy with mammoth oratorios, operas, symphonies, and sonatas, that the short song was esteemed hardly worthy of their serious attention; just as in England a story used to be thought of no consequence unless it filled several volumes. It is now conceded that a story of three pages may give as much evidence of literary genius as a three-volume novel, whileS chubert, Franz, and others have proved the same principle in regard to music; and at present every composer writes a dozen or two, if not a hundred or two, lyric songs. The singers, too, have become more rational.
