THE MASTER MUSICIANS
By J. Cuthbert Hadden. A book for players, singers, and listeners, and although the work of an enthusiastic and discerning musician, it deals with the men rather than their compositions. There is an abundance of good anecdote, and personal foibles are not bowdlerised; but the author’s taste is perfect and his attitude is frankly one of human sympathy. With fifteen illustrations. 320 pp. Buckram, 3/6 net. Velvet Persian and boxed, 5/- net.
THE MASTER PAINTERS
By Stewart Dick. Mr. Dick’s book is an attempt to compress the cardinal facts and episodes in the lives of the world’s greatest painters into a series of swift dramatic chapters. The lives of the world’s great artists are often more picturesque than their pictures. With many illustrations. 270 pp. Buckram, 3/6 net. Velvet Persian and boxed, 5/- net.
