PREFACE


Owing to the high cost of book production at the present time,
the use of illustrations, both musical and photographic, has been
restricted in this book. It was decided only to fully illustrate
the analysis of MacDowell's "Indian" Suite for Orchestra, _Op.
48_, this being a work less accessible to the general reader than
the composer's well known pianoforte pieces.

The author gratefully acknowledges the help of:--

Mrs. MacDowell--Information and gift of MacDowell portraits, an
original letter and a piece of MS. of the composer.

Mr. W.W.A. Elkin--Information and loan of scores.

Mr. Charlton Keith--Loan of _D minor Pianoforte Concerto_.

Messrs. J. and W. Chester, Ltd.--Information.
