- 1840 July, De Quincey, “Style”, in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine[1], volume 68, number 297, page 2:
- A song—an air—a tune, that is a short succession of notes revolving rapidly upon itself, how could that by possibility offer a field of compass sufficient for the development of great musical effects? The preparation pregnant with the future, the remote correspondence, the questions, as it were, which to a deep muscial sense are asked in one passage, and answered in another; the iteration and ingemination of a given effect, moving through subtle variations that sometimes disguise the theme, sometimes fitfully reveal it, sometimes throw it out tumultuously into the daylight,—these and ten thousand forms of self-conflicting musical passion—what room could they find, what opening for utterance in so limited a field as an air or song?
- Featley
