Training ladies in music was considered important for the cultivation of musical taste in the population at large.
Although pleased that students were studying music of this calibre, at the same time Dwight was concerned that perhaps the growing popularity of Chopin's music had made it an obvious vehicle for ambitious teachers, eager students, and perhaps parents as well.

 Powell's Books - Garland Reference Library of the Humanities #2099: The Arts Entwined: Music and Painting in the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This collection of essays by musicologists and art historians explores the reciprocal influences between music and painting during the nineteenth century, a critical period of gestation when instrumental music was identified as the paradigmatic expressive art and theoretically aligned with painting in the formulation ut pictura musica (as with music, so with painting).
Under music's influence, painting approached the threshold of abstraction; concurrently many composers cultivated pictorial effects in their music.
Individual essays address such themes as visualization in music, the literary vs. pictorial basis of the symphonic poem, musical pictorialism in painting and lithography, and the influence of Wagner on the visual arts.
