Abstract

THIS book is divided into two parts: (I.) the tonic sol-fanotation, (II.) the staff notation. Part I. differs from the “official” tonic sol-fa system only in the method of writing music in the minor key. Mr. Taylor is an out-and-out tonicist, and therefore most strongly opposed to the so-called “Lah mode” of the official system. It must be allowed that Mr. Taylor's method has the merit of consistency. For practical purposes, however, it is not so certain that the “Lah mode” is a mistake. At any rate, the opinion of most tonic sol-faists appears to be in its favour, as being the best method, from a utilitarian point of view, of treating the minor mode.
