Book excerpt: In writing this work, I had not only the object in view of providing for those interested in the subject a book of reference, containing a systematic exposition of the principles of expression in pianoforte playing, but I also wished to dispel the erroneous popular belief, that expression is a manifestation of feeling only, or that feeling is the sole basis of expression. I shall endeavor to prove that intelligence, not feeling, is the chief requirement in expression. - Preface.
