THE 



Music OF THE POETS : 



A MUSICIANS' BIRTHDAY BOOK. 



EDITED BY ELEONORE D'ESTERRE KEELING. 



THIS is a unique Birthday Book. Against each date are 

 given the names of musicians whose birthday it is, together 

 with a verse-quotation appropriate to the character of their 

 different compositions or performances. A special feature of 

 the book consists in the reproduction in fac-simile of auto- 

 graphs, and autographic music, of living composers. Three 

 sonnets by Mr. Theodore Watts, on the "Fausts" of Berlioz, 

 Schumann, and Gounod, have been written specially for this 

 volume. It is illustrated with designs of various musical 

 instruments, etc.; autographs of Rubenstein, Dvorak, Greig, 

 Mackenzie, Villiers Stanford, etc., etc.
