Extract

If I desired a precedent for a paper on Monteverde, I could not do better than look back to that read in 1916 by Sir Hubert Parry, then President of the Musical Association, on The Significance of Monteverde. And if I were looking out for a suitable way of introducing the subject I could not do better than quote his introduction. He said:—

“Everyone who has any idea at all of what the name of Monteverde represents must see that a proposal to discuss him fully in a single paper, even of abnormal length, would be absurd.”
