Excerpt from The Story of the Art of MusicMusic has been styled the youngest, but greatest of the Arts. My experience tells me that it is the oldest and grandest of all arts. To tell the story then, in one small volume, of a subject which dates from Creation, is no easy matter, it would seem.My plan has been to be as concise as possible to keep the running note of theoretical and in strumental progress and development before the reader, also to be non-technical where plain language would answer. Mention has been made only of composers and matters, who and which have actually moved the art onwards, and, inasmuch as one topic alone of the subject - say Form or Orchestration, could not possibly be adequately treated in the space allotted for my entire story, I must be pardoned if I have seemed to slip away from important points. The difficulty has been to get away.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
