Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchestra and How to Listen to It As a conclusion to these prefatory remarks it Should be acknowledged that this little book cannot possibly fulfil its intended purpose unless the splendidly courageous efforts of a number of conductors and orchestras in London and the Provinces, whose financial remuneration is entirely incommensurate with the labour they expend, are enabled to continue. In the following chapters the problem of the orchestra and how to listen to it is fully discussed in all particulars save one. To publish a dissertation on How to be Happy tho' Married for circulation in an Eveless Eden would be the limit of futility. The present author will not, it is hoped. Be accused of a lurking ambition to become a best-seller if he expresses a pious h0pe that the day may not be distant on which a locality that does not possess and support its own orchestra will be deemed unworthy to control its own destinies.
