Transcriber's Notes

1. The HTML version of this ebook contains illustrations and midi
music files. In this text version, captions, attributions and song
lyrics are provided instead.

2. The Anglicized names of the various composers have been retained
as in the original.

3. The Unicode chracters indicating the various pronunciations have
been replaced in this file to use only those found in the Latin-1
character set, as follows:

â for a with macron
a for a with breve
å for a with dot above
ê for e with macron
e for e with breve
ë for e with tilde
î for i with macron
i for i with breve
ô for o with macron
o for o with breve
yû for u with macron
û for double-o with macron
u for double-o with breve

Additionally, 'a with macron below' and 'u with breve' used in the
vocabulary had no examples of pronunciation. These were replaced
with ö and u, respectively.

4. Wolgang has been changed to Wolfgang ("The music was begun,
Wolfgang playing the second part.")
