During his long career, Edward Dent wrote on a variety of musical
subjects, ranging from substantial articles in the most learned
journals to less weighty pieces in Radio Times. This volume aims to
reflect that variety. Some of the articles are now of primarily
historical interest, others offer insights of a fundamental kind;
all are informed by Dent's witty and distinctive prose style. In
editing this collection, Hugh Taylor has drawn on writings from
1903 to 1951 and included two pieces originally written in Italian
and published here in English for the first time. As well as
providing footnotes, which amplify certain of Dent's statements and
draw attention to subsequent research, Mr Taylor has listed sources
for Dent's many textual references and quotations. Brought together
in this way Dent's learned but always readable criticism will
appeal to the reader with a general interest in music as well as to
the music student and specialist.
