The True Programme Music
Herbert Antcliffe · 2025
( Note .—The principal part of this paper was prepared as a supplement to, and after reading Mr. Ernest Newman’s essay on “Programme Music” contained in his Musical Studies , and was read at a meeting of the Musical Association in London. There are, therefore, a number of references to that essay, while a large number of points which would ordinarily be dealt with in a study of the subject are omitted as having been dealt with very fully by Mr. Newman. The only serious difference of opinion between that distinguished writer and myself is that I consider he might well have gone further in his study of the psychological aspect of the matter.)
