Excerpt from Olden-Time Music: A Compilation From Newspapers and Books
The rapid progress our country has shown in the development of the finer arts and industries is an encouraging omen for the hope that it will not be many years before much that we seek for in Europe may be found here.
In art, science, and literature America has made phenomenal progress; in no one direction, however, has she made more rapid or greater strides than in the character of her music. In no way can this progress be more fully appreciated or better exhibited than in comparing the records of fifty years ago and the condition of things which obtains to-day.
