| General note | "This book exhibits a new plan of printing music. Four kinds of characters are used ... These four kinds of characters also, denote the four syllables, mi, faw, sol, law, which are used in singing. ... A book that may be obtained with little expence, and be suitable for learners at their first setting out, is frequently called for; such an one is The musical primer, the first part of The art of singing, independent of the rest of the work."--Advertisement, p. [5]-6. |
