Scholar and composer Emil Naumann (1827 88) studied with
Mendelssohn, and his compositions reflect the style of his teacher.
He published several works on musical aesthetics and history, of
which Illustrierte Musikgeschichte, written between 1880 and 1885,
is his best known. It went through many editions and this English
translation, first published in 1888, was prepared by the composer,
pianist and writer Ferdinand Praeger (1815 91). To rectify the
work's marked neglect of English music, chapters were added by its
editor, the eminent Victorian musician Sir Frederick Gore Ouseley
(1825 89), Professor of Music at Oxford. Lavishly illustrated and
with musical examples throughout, this two-volume history was
intended to 'aid in fostering ever-increasing interest in the most
emotional and cherished of all the arts'. Volume 1 covers the music
of ancient civilisations through to the eighteenth century.
