Music
Haggin, B. H. | October 16, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

Behind what is presented to eyes and ears in public is a machinery whose operation one gets to know very little about. As editor from 1948 to 1952 of the periodical "Musical America," author Cecil Smith was in a position to know a great deal about that machinery, and to tell a great deal in the book "Worlds of Music." Since Smith is discussing matters the public is ignorant about one needs to know whether one can read him with confidence in his accuracy; and one has to decide this from the things he says that one does know about.
