The most interesting contribution to musical criticism that has come
from the American press in years. It is marked by that exceptionally

MEZZOTINTS IN MODERN MUSIC

_Opinions of the Press:_

Mr. Huneker is, in the best sense, a critic; he listens to the music and
gives you his impressions as rapidly and in as few words as possible; or
he sketches the composers in fine, broad, sweeping strokes with a
magnificent disregard for unimportant details. And as Mr. Huneker is, as
I have said, a powerful personality, a man of quick brain and an
energetic imagination, a man of moods and temperament--a string that
vibrates and sings in response to music--we get in these essays of his a
distinctly original and very valuable contribution to the world's tiny
musical literature.--_London Saturday Review._

The most valuable treatise ever written on pianoforte studies is
incorporated in Mr. Huneker's recent volume, "Mezzotints in Modern
Music."--_New York Evening Post._

* * * * *

It is rare indeed to find a critic on music who can in his criticisms
combine German accuracy with French grace, and above all with American
independence and freedom of speech.--_Musical Courier._

* * * * *

Mr. Huneker's book is a series of essays filled with literary charm and
individuality, not self-willed or over-assertive, but gracious and
winning, sometimes profoundly contemplative, and anon frolicsome and
more inclined to chaff than to instruct--but interesting and suggestive
always.--_New York Tribune._
