Extract

The Gaceta Musical de Madrid published, thirty years ago, in its number of March 18, a quotation from M. Adrian de la Fage, in which he says : “How numerous are the difficulties and how obscure is the history of music, and how many points remain yet to be cleared up ! … A proof of this is the almost complete ignorance which we are in concerning the ancient school of Spanish music before Palestrina.'
