COPYRIGHT, 1922 BY MARSHALL JONES COMPANY PRINTED OCTOBER, 1922 THE PLIMPTON PRESS · NORWOOD · MASSACHUSETTS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE The object of this book is to give as complete a record as possible of the beginning and progress of music in the United States of America. The first things recorded are regarded as important. Hence such items as the printing of the first book on music, the importation of the first pipe organs, the establishment of the early musical societies are recorded, while similar events of a more recent date are of no special importance. The first performance of significant works—operas, oratorios, symphonies and other choral and orchestral works—are chronicled as carefully as possible; also the first appearance in America of noted musicians.
