Modern music and musicians : [Encyclopedic] . art tookno real root in the country until the open-ing of the Hamburg Opera house in 1678and the rise of Keiser.

Some compilers of works on great com-posers limit their lists to a few—less thantwenty, perhaps—of the supreme names inmusical history. In the present volume thelist has been extended to embrace a muchlarger number, to all of whom the wordgreat, which is a relative term, may—andshould—be, in one degree or another, justlyapplied. .inCif ^ k* 1» mei.
