For the rapidly growing thousands (both amateur and professional)
who find the deepest satisfaction of life in playing chamber music,
this is the only practical and authoritative guide. Beginning with
such elementary problems as who should sit where, what kind of
music stands to use, etc., it goes on to such puzzlers as just how
loud forte is, how fast an allegro, how and when an inner voice
takes over the lead, and similar problems in the works of composers
from Haydn to the moderns. Every musical point is illustrated with
specific examples, and there are 132 musical quotations in full
score. The idea for writing this book was evolved while Ms. Norton
was training with Louis Svecenski of the Kneisel Quartet, and the
manuscript was carefully gone over and heartily endorsed by Franz
Kneisel, leader of the Quartet which set the highest standards of
this art in the United States. The dedication of the book to
members of the Quartet, three of whom had been the author's
teachers, was inevitable. An earlier version of the manuscript was
brought out by Carl Fischer in 1925; the present revised version
was prepared in 1961-2.
