"While speaking of accidentals, I must state my opinion concerning
their employment. Our forerunners followed the correct practice of
placing an accidental before each altered note which did not succeed
itself directly. Today, one accidental is considered sufficient for
several such notes. Accidental signs must be used generously to
clarify unexpected modulatory shifts and their occasional resultant
ambiguities."
