Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments This Catalogue is neither a treatise on the phenomena of sound, nor a disquisition on the origin and evolution of musical instruments. It is obvious, however, that the scientific principles on which the various processes of tone-production are based must be stated it is equally evident that some theory as to the priority of type must be accepted as a starting point in the evolution of instruments, and, also, that no classification is possible that I does not rest on a definite evolutionary sequence Therefore, the ultimate foundation for the facts noted in these pages must rest on those phases of the subject the full exploitation of which is specifically disavowed as its end. In the attempt to make this publication of real assistance to those who wish to view the Collection intelligently, particular stress is laid on the musical possibilities of specific groups, not neglecting to bring to notice the frequently strongly marked individual note of single representatives of these families. Again, those instances in which humanity makes the appeal are accentuated. Possibly a realization of all the personal and communal implications inhering in the uses of certain instruments may give even to those who look upon on a collection as furnishing the means for satiating curiosity while killing time, worthier and more inspiring points of view. That the restrictions of space forbid an extended consideration of these implications is regretted, but it is hoped that the limited references to them will encourage further investigation. Great collections are, in the main, reflections of the personality and individual bias of their founders. Historical or personal associations; decorative beauty and grace of form; a penchant for a certain class of instruments may be guiding factors in selection. Collections thus influenced reveal personality, and frequently are of greater interest than the larger collections assembled under the aegis of some government. It is interesting to note that most of our private collections are domiciled on some university campus. The "Steinert" (Yale); the "Frismuth" (Pennsylvania), and "Steams" (Michigan) Collections support this interesting statement The largest American collection, the "Crosby Brown" (Metropolitan Museum, New York), is not remote from Columbia University, and may therefore be utilized for purposes of general instruction and specific research. For such purposes the Steams Collection is peculiarly adapted, as it is pre-eminently a collection of types. It may be questioned whether any gift to the University has added more, if as much, to its resources for original work than this.

Download or read book The Belle Skinner Collection of Old Musical Instruments Holyoke Massachusetts written by William Skinner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belle Skinner Collection of Old Musical Instruments, Holyoke, Massachusetts: A Descriptive Catalogue The old musical instruments described in the pages of this book were gathered together by my sister to satisfy her love of music and of art, for she delighted to have beautiful things near her. During her youth she studied the violin and piano and all her life she maintained her great interest in music and in everything related to it. In her early travels she came across the Ruckers two-manual harpsichord described here, and having acquired this, the first of her collection, her desire for more treasures naturally developed. Throughout the rest of her life she became an eager collector of rare instruments. Never did she intend to form a museum, but she was happy in the thought of bringing to her home treasures which she could share with her family and her friends and which she could leave to posterity. She had desired to publish a catalogue and the photographs reproduced in these pages were taken under her personal direction. These notes have been compiled by Fanny Reed Hammond and by the curator, Nils I. Ericsson, an expert maker of violins, at one time associated with Arnold Dolmetsch of England in the restoring of old musical instruments, and with Etienne Caveau, in Paris, and Chickering and Sons, in Boston, in the making of clavichords and harpsichords.

This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Collection of Musical Instruments in the United States National Museum The literary material left by Mr. Hawley is extensive and has been of greatest assistance in preparing this handbook. The card index of specimens comprises cards, with detailed information concerning each specimen. Separate card indexes were prepared by him showing the classes of musical instruments with catalogue num bers of specimens, the geographical locations whence the specimens came, the names of collectors or donors, and an index of musical terminology. The largest card index prepared by Mr. Hawley con tains more than cards, representing musical instruments in other museums or mentioned in literature, with descriptions and references. Only type specimens in the National Museum collection are included in this latter index. In addition to exhibited speci mens and card indexes the musical material comprises reference books, old musical publications, photographs, and phonograph rec ords of primitive music, some of the latter made in 1888.
