SCOPE & CONTENT

Parry’s late theoretical book examines musical style as the product of historical conditions, technique, personality and expressive purpose. The volume is particularly valuable for studying how an early twentieth-century composer-scholar understood the relation between form, convention, national traditions and individual voice, and it provides a mature counterpart to his earlier historical surveys.

RESEARCH VALUE

For research use, this record is intended to preserve both bibliographic identity and historical context. Because the book belongs to an earlier phase of musicology or criticism, its factual observations can remain highly useful while broader aesthetic, racial, national or evolutionary assumptions should be checked against modern scholarship and current critical editions.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND SEARCH VALUE

The dossier records concrete publication data together with title and author variants so that Library search can identify the work even when the physical filename is abbreviated, translated or inconsistently catalogued.

RESEARCH USE AND LIMITS

No existing document or catalogue field is overwritten. When a safe physical match is possible, verified values are copied only into empty metadata fields; otherwise the researched bibliographic record remains independently searchable.
