To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This seems to me to be an essential part of the musical contract.
We must remember that no living school of music has ever existed in which there was not an essential unity between the public and its interpreter, the composer. In the past it lias often been the practice, and is even now the practice, of English composers to waste their lives vainly beating their wings in the void. The consequence of this is seen when their compositions are thrown down from the heights to an audience which is wa...iting and craving, not for the rarefied and intellectual ditties of the upper air, but tor some song which is racy of its ix THE COMPOSER AND HIS PUBLIC 279 mother, the earth. 1 In such a case the result is exasperation for the composer and a fit of the sulks for the public, and the reason is the same in both cases neither understands the other.
It is, however, when we come to deal with the practical side of the question that we rind it con- venient to view the production of music as being the result of two forces, the public and the composer, for by looking at it in this light we can trace their separate lines of activity and endeavour to suggest methods of employing this force to its greatest advantage.
