Book excerpt: This book explains the vigorous expansion of the music profession in the 19th and early 20th centuries, as the widespread demand for lessons and the revolution in commercialized entertainment created new employment opportunities, and follows the profession through to its subsequent decline as changing leisure patterns, "talkies", and relentless improvements in recording technologies displaced both teachers and performers.
