In the 1870s music boxes could reproduce actual chords of true quality, and beyond 1875 the Victorian listener could enjoy the sounds of a lovely long-playing music box which could provide up to a full three hours of enchanting medley.

 Famous Quotes About Music

Aaron Avshalomoff spent nearly thirty years in China, lured there by the street music, the legends and the sounds and costumes of traditional Chinese opera that he first encountered in the Chinese quarter of Nikolayevsk, the city in Siberia where he was born in 1895.
His secondary aim was to encourage younger Chinese composers to develop their own musical heritage, rather than allowing themselves to be diverted into various forms of Western commercial music.
While his music was performed and acclaimed in China, that reputation did not follow him to America.

 Masters of Contemporary Music (1894): Felix Draeseke
The late nineteenth century series "Masters of Contemporary Music: A Series of Biographical and Critical Sketches" included the volumes "Masters of English Music" by C. Willeby, "Masters of French Music" by A. Hervey, and "Masters of German Music" by, the Londoner, J.A. Fuller-Maitland.
The volume on German composers was completed in 1894, and was published later that year by Osgood, McIlvaine and Co. in London, and Charles Scribner's in New York.
A certain diffusion of interests, too, is partly responsible for the comparatively small number of his compositions, since he has contributed largely and with good results to the literature of music, and has gone somewhat deeply into the modern developments of pianoforte technique.
