Elson's Music Dictionary. By Louis C. Elson. (Oliver Ditson Company,

Boston, U.S.A.)—The "Dictionary of Musical Terms" covers two hundred and eighty-nine pages,—it will be understood that these terms are explained as well as enumerated, and that it contains the words current in French, German, and Italian, as well as in English. (We do not see "pianola," a term which apparently has come to stay.)
