(paraphrasing) "Hughes wrote several chapters of the Guide, the first of which he attempted to lift the veil of mystery from music for the benefit of the uninitiated, presenting dry material in a very pleasant and easy fashion. His other articles, besides the preface, are on the "American School of Composers," "Graces," "Modes." "Notation," "The Organ and the Pianoforte." His aesthetic notions are modern and progressive, even if his sources are not always so."[1]
