Excerpt from Relation of Psychology to Music
The "Relation of Psychology to Music" was first published in 1899. It was then considered somewhat of an experiment. The result was such as to surpass all expectations of both author and publishers. Encouraged by the favorable reception with which it has met and by the many enthusiastic expressions of appreciation of its merits and value, the author herewith gives forth a new, revised and stereotyped edition.
This volume consists of lectures delivered to the pupils and faculty of the Augustana Conservatory of Music, Rock Island, 111, during the years 1897 to 1899. At the request of the pupils and numerous friends these lectures are here given in the form in which they were delivered. This book is not designed to be an exhaustive treatise on psychology, but its object is to apply some of the principles of psychology to the study of music. The author freely acknowledges his indebtedness to various works for suggestions, illustrations, etc.; especially those of James, Halleck, Lindner, Davis, Mertz, Tapper and Gates, to which, with others, reference is made in foot notes. The numerous quotations are designed for illustration and for bringing together in topical connection the utterances of various authorities, thus greatly enhancing the value of the work to students. "The Relation of Psychology to Music" is, however, a new subject, and opens up an exceedingly interesting and important field for investigation. The questions at the end of each chapter are added to aid students in preparing for examination on the principles of psychology, where such examination is required, and also to aid the general reader in fixing attention upon the subject matter of the treatise.
