Excerpt from Musical Memories HE following remarks printed in my first announcement Of this work are probably sufficient to explain why I have ventured to pub lish my reminiscences in a separate form The greater number of these Musical Memories were written for and published in the magazines and journals of the day. In accordance with the wish expressed by many distinguished musicians and a large circle of private friends, I submit these Memories to the general public. To give the book additional interest I have added much other matter concerning music and musicians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memories of a Musical Career I had never kept a diary, not dreaming that I should ever be called upon to narrate the story of my life, neither had I made a collection of newspaper clippings and programmes as many artists are wont to do; con sequently I found myself without any written data and had to depend entirely on my own memory of events and of impressions received. My great perplexity was - where to begin? What to select from the mass of incidents with which my life had been replete? When something whispered, What is the first thing that you can recall? Begin with that, I did so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Musical Memories I think it was Lord Beaconsfield who said that a man is usually interesting in proportion as his talk runs upon what he is familiar with; and that as a man usually knows more about himself than about anything else, he seldom fails to be tolerable if his self-centred talk turns out to be unaffected and sincere. To talk about one's self and to be dull is nevertheless possible. In the early pages of this volume I shall have to do the first to a considerable extent; let me hope to avoid the second. Music is not the business of my life, but it remains its sweetest recreation; and there is one opinion which used to be widely held by my friends in the old days, and to which I subscribed for many years. Nature, they often said, intended me for a violinist. In fact, my musical life starts from the violin; and, "Stradivario duce" - Stradivarius leading the way - I feel inspired, "after long years," to retrace with a certain keen pleasure these labyrinthine passages of Musical Memory. There is something about the shape of a violin - its curves, its physiognomy, its smiling and genial 's - which seems to invite and welcome inspection and handling.

Excerpt from Musical Memories of Hartford: Drawn From Records Public and Private A foreword! Hartford! With its fifty years and more of musical history, which it would be impossible to relate in full. Where begin, where end! At first it was my intention to write only of what was within memory, with the hope that to those who are living, many pleasant events, long since forgotten, would be recalled. Then the past, with its traditions became fascinating, and I found myself dipping into the far past the beginnings of music in Hartford. This led to encouragement that possibly the next generation would find interest in reading about the musical events that had come within the lifetime of this gen cration. It has been my idea not only to tell about Hartford's musicians of note and what they accomplished, but also as far as was practical to speak of the opportunities we have had in listening to artists and the fine music brought to us. The accounts naturally were obliged to be fragmentary. As a small contribution to my much beloved city of Hartford, I have gladly gathered together these facts about the friends and musicians who made the days of progress possible. To all those who have helped and many have been called upon to clear fading memories, supply old pro grammes, answer many questions and give kindly criticism my deep gratitude is felt and warmest thanks are given.

Excerpt from Memories of a Musical Life My father manifested a remarkable fondness for music at an early age. His parents did not intend that he should take up music as a profession, but his talent was not neglected. In 1812, be fore he was twenty, he heard of an open ing in a bank in Savannah, Georgia, and having secured the position, he went there. After business hours he continued his studies in music with an instructor named F. L. Abel, under whom he made rapid progress. He soon attempted com position, his first efforts being hymn-tunes and anthems. He arranged a collection consisting of a group of selections from William Gardiner's Sacred Melodies.

Excerpt from Musical Memories In bygone days I was often told that I had two mothers, and, as a matter of fact, I did have two - the mother who gave me life and my maternal great-aunt, Charlotte Masson. The latter came from an old family of lawyers named Gayard and this relationship makes me a descendant of General Delcambre, one of the heroes of the retreat from Russia. His granddaughter married Count Durrieu of the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. My great-aunt was born in the provinces in 1781, but she was adopted by a childless aunt and uncle who made their home in Paris. He was a wealthy lawyer and they lived magnificently.

Winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for Popular Music Books (2002) Winner of the Society for Ethnomusicology's (SEM) Alan P. Merriam Prize (2003) Salsa is a popular dance music developed by Puerto Ricans in New York City during the 1960s and 70s, based on Afro-Cuban forms. By the 1980s, the Colombian metropolis of Cali emerged on the global stage as an important center for salsa consumption and performance. Despite their geographic distance from the Caribbean and from Hispanic Caribbean migrants in New York City, Caleños (people from Cali) claim unity with Cubans, Puerto Ricans and New York Latinos by virtue of their having adopted salsa as their own. The City of Musical Memory explores this local adoption of salsa and its Afro-Caribbean antecedents in relation to national and regional musical styles, shedding light on salsa's spread to other Latin American cities. Cali's case disputes the prevalent academic notion that live music is more "real" or "authentic" than its recorded versions, since in this city salsa recordings were until recently much more important than musicians themselves, and continued to be influential in the live scene. This book makes valuable contributions to ongoing discussions about the place of technology in music culture and the complex negotiations of local and transnational cultural identities.
