For this reason the individuals of which it consists—the single tunes are so many examples of high artistic perfection. In their small way, they are as perfect as the grandest masterpieces of musical art.

On the other hand, the favourite national or popular art songs contain, beside a few interesting tunes, so many musical commonplaces, that their value remains far lesser than that of peasant music in the narrower sense of the term.
