Excerpt from The Art of the Musician: A Guide to the Intelligent Appreciation of Music
This book is the outgrowth of a course of popular lectures intended to give to persons fond of music, but not thoroughly versed in its intricacies, an idea of the reasons which prompt musical critics to approve or disapprove of compositions. It is intended chiefly to stimulate investigation of that much neglected subject - music - and may serve as a text-book for instruction. It is designed to emphasize the distinction between the real study of music and the study of the arts of playing and singing which has so long been mistaken for it. But it is calculated most of all to supply the demand of those mature lovers of music who wish to understand the aims and purposes of a composer, some of the methods of his work, and to get some ground for fairly judging his attainments and results.
