Arthur Eaglefield Hull (10 March 1876 – 4 November 1928)〔Sadie, S. (ed.) (1980) ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music & Musicians'', (#8 )〕 was an English music critic, writer, composer and organist.〔(Arthur Eaglefield Hull ) (Sibley Music Library – 7 September 2010).〕 Initially a music student of the pianist and theorist Tobias Matthay, he graduated with a Doctorate of Music (Mus. Doc.) from Oxford University. He lived in Huddersfield in Yorkshire, and became an editor of several music publications including ''The Monthly Musical Record'', ''International Library of Books on Music'', ''Library of Music and musicians''(a series of books on composers),〔See advertisement at the front of (A great Russian tone-poet, Scriabin ).〕 ''The Music Lover's library'' (short books on classical music subjects)〔 and others.〔 He also taught the piano and organ privately with Frederic Lord being one of his notable pupils.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frederic Lord )〕 Hull wrote a biography of Alexander Scriabin, and coined the term "mystic chord"〔"Skryabin and the Impossible", p.314. Simon Morrison. ''Journal of the American Musicological Society'', Vol. 51, No. 2. (Summer, 1998), pp. 283–330.〕 to describe the harmonic and melodic device which the Russian composer used in some of his later works.〔(A great Russian tone poet, Scriabin ) ("Library of Music and Musicians", London: K. Paul, Trench, Trubner, 1916) pp. 101–115.〕 He also wrote a living biography of another mystically inclined composer, Cyril Scott, for whom he had a high regard, calling him "at the least, the equal of those (composers) of any other country".〔(Cyril Scott, composer, poet and philosopher ) ("Library of Music and Musicians", London: K. Paul, Trench, Trubner, 1919) p180.〕 Hull translated and edited biographies of Mussorgsky, Handel, Beethoven and others.〔See advertisement at the front of (Handel ) (London : K. Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., Ltd., 1920).〕 He also wrote books and articles on subjects such as musical harmony and organ technique (see bibliography), was a composer and arranger,〔(Compositions and arrangements for the organ ) by A. E. Hull (University of Rochester).〕 and produced editions of music scores (such as the "Organ Sonatas" of Alexandre Guilmant〔(Organ Sonatas by Alexandre Guilmant ).〕).〔 He was the general editor for the reference work, "A Dictionary of Modern Music and Musicians" (Dent, 1924), which covered the period from 1880 onwards.〔(Review of books – A Dictionary of Modern Music and Musicians ) (Music and Letters, 1924, V4: 374–375).〕 In 1927, his book ''Music: Classical, Romantic and Modern''〔(Music; classical, romantic & modern ) (reprinted by Ayer Publishing, 1971).〕 was published but material in it was found to be borrowed from other writers. How much of this was delibarate plagiarism and how much a mere careless, hasty failure to cite sources is not known, but the resultant public denunciations (led by lexicographer Percy Scholes) left Hull very upset. He committed suicide by throwing himself under a train at Huddersfield station.〔 ==Bibliography== Books written by Hull: *''(Organ playing: its technique and expression )'' (London: Augener, 1911). *''(Modern harmony, its explanation and application )'' (London, Augener Ltd, 1915). *''(A great Russian tone poet, Scriabin )'' ("Library of Music and Musicians", London: K.
