Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burrowes Piano-Forte Primer: Containing the Rudiments of Music; Calculated Either for Private Tuition, or Teaching in Classes In presenting "Burrowes' Primer" in a new dress, revised, altered, and enlarged, the publishers desire to state the motives which have induced them to make the change alluded to. Numerous requests have been made by our most experienced teachers, for the publication of a Piano-Forto Primer, containing a more simple and lucid explanation of the first principles of music, and the introduction of terms by which the length of notes, and their relative value to each other, could be more clearly understood. The additions in the two first chapters have been made to simplify the explanations in regard to the Staff, Clefs, length and value of notes, Sec. The chapter on Time has been remodelled, and, it is hoped, the definitions given will be found more consonant with the latest and most approved method of teaching. In all other respects Burrowes remains unchanged. In making the alteration, Mr. Peters has been assisted by the judicious advice of Messrs. E. W. Gunter, J. B. Smith, G. 11. Hoffman, W. Jucho, John Candy, J. C. Cook, F. W. Ratliff, J. E. Jungman, J. C. F. Soloraan, Henry Sofge, H. Kleber, C- II. Weber, Paul Schmidt, J. F. Wahl, and many other distinguished Teachers of Music, whose kindness is hereby acknowledged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
