# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Arpeggione

From volume 1 of the work.
​ARPEGGIONE, or Guitar Violoncello, a stringed instrument, played with a bow, which was invented by G. Staufer, of Vienna, in 1823, but appears never to have come much into use, and whose very name would probably now be unknown, if it were not for an interesting sonata (in A) for pianoforte and arpeggione by Franz Schubert, written in 1824, and only lately published (Vienna J. P. Gotthardt).
The arpeggione appears to have been of the size of the viol-da-gamba, or a small violoncello; the shape of the body something like that of the guitar. The finger-board had frets, and the six strings were tuned thus—

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Art of Fugue, The

From volume 1 of the work.
​ART OF FUGUE, THE (Die Kunst der Fuge), a work of Sebastian Bach's, in which the art of fugue and counterpoint is taught, not by rules but in examples. It was written in 1749, the last year of his life, and is therefore the last legacy of his immense genius and experience. The work consists of sixteen fugues—or in Bach's language 'counterpoints'—and four canons, for one pianoforte, and two fugues for two pianofortes, all on one theme
in every variety of treatment; and closes with a fugue on three new subjects, in the same key as before, the third being the name of BACH (according to the German notation):—
This fugue leaves off on a chord of A, and is otherwise obviously unfinished, interrupted, according to Forkel, by the failure of Bach's eyes, and never resumed. On the other hand the writing of the autograph (Berlin Library), though small and cramp, is very clear, and not like the writing of a half-blind man. We learn on the same authority that it was the master's intention to wind up his work with a fugue on four subjects, to be reversed in all the four parts; of this however no trace exists. The Art of Fugue was partly engraved (on copper) before Bach's death, and was published by Marpurg in 1752 at four thalers, with the addition at the end of a Chorale, 'Wenn wir in hochsten Nothen sind,' in four parts in florid counterpoint, which is said to have been dictated by the master to his son-in-law Altnikol very shortly before his departure, and is thus his 'Nunc dimittis.' This chorale, which has no apparent connection with the preceding portion, is in G major; it is omitted in the editions of Nägeli and Peters, but will be found in Becker's 'J. S. Bach's vierstimmige Kirchengesänge' (Leipzig, 1843).

# A Field Book of the Stars/Draco

The Constellations of Summer.

DRACO (dra'-ko)—THE DRAGON. (Face North.)
Location.—About 10 degrees from (α) Ursæ Majoris—from (α) to (δ) is 10 degrees—slightly south of, that is above, the line from (α) to Polaris, is Giansar, (λ) in the tip of the Dragon's tail. Above (λ), and almost inline with it, are two more stars in Draco, which form with two stars in Ursa Major a quadrilateral. (See diagram.) Draco now curves sharply eastward, coiling about the Little Bear as shown, then turns abruptly southerly, ending in a characteristic and clearly defined group of four stars, forming an irregular square, representing the Dragon's head. This group is almost overhead in the early evening in summer. The star in the heel of Hercules lies just south of the Dragon's head. The brilliant Vega will be seen about overhead, 12 degrees southwest of the Dragon's head. Eltanin, one of the Dragon's eyes, is noted for its connection with the discovery of the law of aberration of light It is of an orange hue, while the star (β), near it, is white. Note Thuban, once the Pole Star, at one corner of a quadrilateral that Draco forms with Ursa Major.
Thuban could be seen by day or night from the bottom of the central passage of several of the Pyramids in Egypt.
The rising of Eltanin was visible about thirty-five hundred years B.C. through the central passages of the temples of Hawthor at Denderah.

# A Field Book of the Stars/Hercules

The Constellations of Summer.
Layout 2
HERCULES (her'-kū-lēz)—THE KNEELER.
Location.—A line drawn from either Vega, in Lyra, or Altair, in Aquila, to Gemma, in Corona Borealis, passes through this constellation. The left foot of Hercules rests on the head of Draco, on the north, and his head nearly touches the head of Ophiuchus on the south.
The star in the head of Hercules, Ras Algethi, is about 25 degrees southeast of Corona Borealis.
Ras Alhague, the head of Ophiuchus, and Ras Algethi are only about 5 degrees apart.
The cluster 13 M, the Halley Nebula, can be easily seen in binoculars. It contains fourteen thousand stars, according to Herschel.
Hercules occupies the part of the heavens toward which the sun is bearing the earth and planets at the rate of one hundred and sixty million miles a year.
On a clear night the asterism Cerberus, the three-headed dog, which Hercules holds in his hand, can be seen.
The belt of Hercules lies just east of the Crown.
This constellation is said to have been an object of worship in Phœnicia.
The principal stars in the constellation form a rude letter "H" the short cross-stroke being the imaginary line drawn from ε to ζ.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Leo

The Constellations of Spring.
Layout 2
LEO (le'o)— THE LION. (Face South.)
Location—A line drawn from Pollux, in Gemini, to (γ) in Cancer, and prolonged about 12 degrees, strikes Regulus, the brilliant star in the heart of the Lion. Regulus lies about 9 degrees east of Acubens in Cancer, and about 12 degrees north-east of Alphard, in the heart of Hydra.
Leo is one of the most beautiful constellations in the Zodiac. It lies south of the Great Bear, and its principal stars are arranged in the form of a sickle. This group is so striking as to be unmistakable. Regulus lies in the handle of the sickle. It is one of the stars from which longitude is reckoned, and is almost exactly on the ecliptic.
Denebola, the bright star in the Lion's tail, lies 25 degrees east of Regulus, and about 35 degrees west of Arcturus, in Boötes. It is the same distance northwest of Spica, in Virgo, and forms with Spica and Arcturus a large equilateral triangle.
(γ) is a double for binoculars.
(ζ)is double, and has three minute companion stars.
(ε) has two minute seventh-magnitude companion stars, forming a beautiful little triangle.
Regulus is white in color, (γ) yellow, (π) red.
Denebola, Arcturus, and Cor Caroli form a triangle. This, and the triangle formed with Spica, compose the Diamond of Virgo.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Hydra

The Constellations of Spring.
Layout 2
HYDRA (hi'-dra)— THE SEA-SERPENT. (Face South and Southwest.)
Location—The head of Hydra, a striking and beautiful arrangement of stars, lies just below the Bee Hive in Cancer, 6 degrees south of Acubens in that constellation, and forms a rhomboidal figure of five stars.
Hydra is about 100 degrees in length and reaches almost from Canis Minor to Libra. Its stars are all faint except Alphard, or the Hydra's heart, a second-magnitude star remarkable for its lonely situation, southwest of Regulus in Leo. A line drawn from (γ) Leonis through Regulus points it out. It is of a rich orange tint. Castor and Pollux in Gemini point southeast to it.
The constellations Crater, the Cup, and Corvus, the Crow, both stand on the coils of Hydra, south of Denebola, the bright star in the tail of the Lion.
Hydra is supposed to be the snake shown on a uranographic stone from the Euphrates, 1200 B.C.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Introduction

Layout 2
INTRODUCTION.
CONSIDERING the ease with which a knowledge of the constellations can be acquired, it seems a remarkable fact that so few are conversant with these time-honored configurations of the heavens. Aside from a knowledge of "the Dipper" and "the Pleiades," the constellations to the vast majority, are utterly unknown.
To facilitate and popularize if possible this fascinating recreation of star-gazing the author has designed this field-book. It is limited in scope solely to that purpose, and all matter of a technical or theoretical nature has been omitted.
The endeavor has been to include in these pages only such matter as the reader can observe with the naked eye, or an opera-glass. Simplicity and brevity have been aimed at, the main idea being that whatever is bulky or verbose is a hindrance rather than a help when actually engaged in the observation of the heavens. The constellations embraced in this manual are only those visible from the average latitude of the New England and Middle States, and owe their place in the particular season in which they are found to the fact that in that season they are favorably situated for observation.
With this brief explanatory note of the purpose and design of the book, the author proceeds to outline the scheme of study.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Delphinus

The Constellations of Summer.
Layout 2
DELPHINUS (del-fi'-nus)—THE DOLPHIN, OR JOB'S COFFIN. (Face Southeast.)
Location.—The little cluster of five stars forming Delphinus is to be seen about 10 degrees northeast of Altair, and, though there are no bright stars in the group, it can hardly escape notice. A line drawn from Vega to Albireo, and prolonged about 20 degrees, strikes the star (ε) in the tail of the Dolphin. The four other stars of prominence in the constellation are a little above (ε), and form a diamond-shaped figure.
The little asterisms Sagitta, the Arrow, and Vulpecula and Anser, the Fox and Goose, are shown just above Delphinus.
Delphinus is also called Job's Coffin. The origin of this appellation is unknown.
In Greece, Delphinus was the Sacred Fish, the sky emblem of philanthropy. The Arabs called it the "Riding Camel."
# A Field Book of the Stars/Eridanus

The Constellations of Winter.
Layout 2
ERIDANUS (e-rid'-a-nus)—OR THE RIVER PO. (Face Southwest.)
Location.—Three degrees north and two degrees west of Rigel, in Orion, lies (β) Eridani, the source of the River. Thence it flows west till it reaches (π) Ceti, then drops south 5 degrees, thence east southeast, its total length being about 130 degrees.
The great curve the river takes, just east of the Whale, resembles a horseshoe.
Acherna, the first-magnitude star in Eridanus, is too far south to be seen in this latitude.
Note the pretty star group around (β) and a pair of stars of an orange hue below (γ).
The asterism known as "The Brandenburg Sceptre," consisting of four stars of the fourth and fifth magnitude, can be seen standing in a straight line north and south below the first bend in the River, just west of Lepus.
# A Field Book of the Stars/Gemini

The Constellations of Spring.
Layout 2
GEMINI (jem'-i-ni)— THE TWINS. (Face West.)
Location.—A line drawn from (β) to (κ) Ursæ Majoris and prolonged an equal distance ends near Castor, in Gemini. Gemini is characterized by two nearly parallel rows of stars. The northern row if extended would reach Taurus, the southern one Orion. Note the fine cluster 35. M. Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781 a short distance southwest of it. Two wonderful streams of little stars run parallel northwest on each side of the cluster. The cross indicates the spot where the sun appears to be when it is farthest north of the equator, June 21st. Castor is a fine double for a telescope, and Pollux has three little attendant stars. An isosceles triangle is formed by Castor. Aldebaran in Taurus, and Capella in Auriga. There is a record of an occultation in Gemini noted about the middle of the fourth century B.C.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Tucket

​TUCKET, TUCK. Tucket is the name of a trumpet sound, of frequent occurrence in the works of the Elizabethan dramatists. Shakespere (Henry V, Act iv, Sc. 2) has, 'Then let the trumpets sound The tucket-sonance, and the note to mount'; and in 'The Devil's Law Case' (1623) is a stage direction, 'Two tuckets by several trumpets.' The word is clearly derived from the ​Italian Toccata, which Florio ('A Worlde of Wordes,' 1598) translates 'a touch, a touching.'
Like most early musical signals, the tucket came to England from Italy, and though it is always mentioned by English writers as a trumpet sound, the derivation of the word shows that in all probability it was originally applied to a drum signal. [See vol. iii. p. 642, etc.] Francis Markham ('Five Decades of Epistles of Warre,' 1622) says that a 'Tucquet' was a signal for marching used by cavalry troops. The word still survives in the French 'Doquet' or 'Toquet,' which Larousse explains as 'nom que l'on donne à la quatrième partie de Trompette d'une fanfare de cavallerie.' There are no musical examples extant of the notes which were played.

THOU art not so black as my heart, Nor half so brittle as her heart, thou art; What would'st thou say? shall both our properties by thee be spoke, —Nothing more endless, nothing sooner broke?
Marriage rings are not of this stuff; Oh, why should ought less precious, or less tough Figure our loves? except in thy name thou have bid it say, "—I'm cheap, and nought but fashion; fling me away."
Yet stay with me since thou art come, Circle this finger's top, which didst her thumb; Be justly proud, and gladly safe, that thou dost dwell with me; She that, O! broke her faith, would soon break thee.
