Neue Freie Presse : May 23, 1909

[Universal Edition] Haydn's, Mozart's, Beethoven's, and in particular C. P. E. Bach's ornamentation is treated exhaustively and vividly in the just published second, enlarged edition of Schenker's A Contribution to Ornamentation.¹ This interesting publication from Universal Edition, which has also been adopted by the curriculum of the Imperial-Royal Academy of Music in Vienna,² will shortly appear in English translation.³ The modest price (2 Kroner 40 Heller) facilitates the wide and general dissemination that the work deserves.
