First published in 1905, it includes everything from 'elements of notation' (What's a quarter note? How do you tell a sharp from a natural? Find out here!) through a guide to key signatures, pronunciation notes and 'noteworthy musicians,' in a handy package useful to students, professionals and laymen alike--and all for a bargain price.
