Making of Musicians the Rhythmic Method, of Teaching Music. E-book. Formato PDF T. H. Yorke Trotter   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Which should be the most popular of the arts? Undoubtedly music, for it is natural to all men to express their feelings in rhythmic motion and in sound, and music is the art of rhythmic motion in sound. We hear on all sides the attempt at self-expression in musical sound. The boy whistles as he goes about his occupations, the working girl sings at her work; to all of us alike the first means of self-expression are to be found in music. Moreover, we hear music everywhere in nature.

Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War. E-book. Formato PDF W. Trotter   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The first two essays in this book were written some ten years ago and published in the Sociological Review in 1908 and 1909. They had formed a single paper, but it was found necessary, to publish in two instalments at an interval of six months, and to cut down to a considerable extent the total bulk.It was lately suggested to me that as the numbers of the review in which the two essays appeared were out of print, the fact that the subject concerned was not without some current interest might justify, a republication. It was not possible to do this without trying to embody such fruits as there might be of ten years' further speculation and some attempt to apply to present affairs the principles which had been sketched out.The new comment very soon surpassed by far in bulk the original text, and constitutes, in fact, all but a comparatively few pages of this book. This rather minute record is made here not because it has any interest of its own, but especially to point out that I have been engaged in trying to apply to the affairs of to-day principles which had taken shape ten years ago.
