CESAR FRANCK : A Study. Translated from the 



French of Vincent d'Indy. And with an Introduction by ROSA 

 NEWMARCH. Demy 8vo. js. 6d. net. 



** There is no purer influence in modern music than that of Cesar Franck, for many 

 years ignored in every capacity save that of organist of Sainte-Clotilde, in Paris, but now 

 recognised as the legitimate successor of Bach and Beethoven. His inspiration " rooted in 

 love and faith " has contributed in a remarkable degree to the regeneration of the musical 

 art in France and elsewhere. The now famous " Schola C antorum " founded in Paris in 

 1896, by A. Guilmant, Charles Bordes and Vincent d'Indy, is the direct outcome of his 

 influence. Among the artists who where in some sort his disciples were Paul Dukas, 

 Chabrier, Gabriel Faur and the great violinist Ysiiye. His pupils include such gifted 

 composers as Benolt, Augusta Holmes, Chausson, Ropartz, and d' Indy, This book, 

 written with the devotion of a disciple and the authority of a master, leaves us with, 

 a vivid and touching impression of the saint-like composer of " The Beatitudes."

Daily Telegraph. " . . . one of the most charming volumes published within recent years. 

 . . . Miss Hill has drawn a really idyllic and graphic picture of the daily life and gossip 

 of the stately but unfortunate dames and noblemen who found in Juniper Hall a 

 thoroughly English home." 



The Times. " This book makes another on the long and seductive list of books that take 

 up history just where history proper leaves off . . . We have given but a faint idea of 

 the freshness, the innocent gaiety of its pages ; we can give none at all of the beauty and 

 interest of the pictures that adorn it." 



Westminster Gazette. " Skilfully and charmingly told."

Truth. " It is a brilliant study of the brilliant Frenchwoman who in the early years of the 

 eighteenth century played such a remarkable part in saving the Bourbon dynasty in 

 Spain. Miss Hill's narrative is interesting from the first page to the last, and the value 

 of the book is enhanced by the reproductions of contemporary portraits with which it is 

 illustrated."
