Excerpt from The Musical Faculty: Its Origins and Processes
This book deals with the mechanism of the musical sense more closely than was possible or expedient in its predecessor, The Threshold of Music. Its aim is psychological rather than musical, and it records in outline the mental processes concerned with the creation and production of Music.
It has been my endeavour to avoid repetition, and in returning to the question of Heredity, I have been influenced by the fact that since The Threshold was published, some attention has been given to "Music" by those who are applying Mendel's Law to Man. What follows on this subject should be read along with the chapter on Heredity and Environment in my former book.
The text is not burdened with references to works on Psychology, for the reason that Music, when discussed at all, even in the larger treatises, has been considered almost entirely from the outside.
