The science of the musical research worker has a Looking-Glass complexion. Romantic musings and fabulous mathematics inspire it in turn.
Bernard Van Dieren.
The musician can hardly take up any of the writings of those who expounded their ideas of musical theory, say, in the early days of this Association, without feeling some of the bewilderment that Alice experienced when she went through the Looking-Glass and made the acquaintance of the White Queen. The more he reads, the more perfect will he find the analogy to be.
