Description:Excerpt from The Sapphic Stanza: A Tentative Study in Greek Metrical, Tonal and Dancing Art The study which follows was originally published in The Denison University Quarterly. It is meant as a suggestion for those who take interest in the topics to which it alludes. The basis for a restoration of the primitive Greek music can be found, perhaps, only in a summary of results from a wide investigation of folk-music. Material for such a summary is growing rapidly in quantity at the present day through the efforts of folklorists among primitive races in all parts of the world. It may be discovered that the classical and post-classic treatises are of value only by way of restraint and not by way of guidance. The present writer makes no pretense to originality except as to the general scheme of the essay. In some places the earliest authorities were out of his reach at the time of writing. But his secondary sources were worthy of. credence. He takes pleasure in acknowledging an indebtedness to Mr. H. E. Krehbiel which is evinced on almost every page that follows. That Mr. Krehbiel and he hold different opinions is all the better, considering the doubts that embarrass the discussion. The reader thus gels a glimpse of two sides of a subject that has as many facets as Roger Bacon's multiplying glass. Acknowledgement is also due to Professor W. H. Johnson for his kindness in helping forward the little task now finished. Those who like a fancy of the kind are welcome to see in the red covers of this pamphlet a sentimental reference to the robe of the heroine in Grillparzer's play of "Sappho."
