The importance of Marx Wartofsky's contribution to our understanding of visual representation hardly needs advertisement on the pages of the present volume, being well known to all his admirers. It is in the spirit of that work, although not, obviously, as a direct contribution to it, that I offer, for this happy occasion, some brief remarks on the problem of musical representation.
