Excerpt from Music: An Art and a LanguageThe material of the book is based on lectures, often of an informal nature, in the Appreciation Course at Harvard University and lays no claim to original research. The difficulty in establishing points of approach makes it far more baf¿ing to Speak or write about music than about the other arts. Music is sufficient unto itself. Endowed with the insight of a Ruskin or a Pater, one may say something worth while about painting. But in music the line between mere statistical analysis and sentimental rhapsody must be drawn with exceeding care. If the subject matter be clearly presented and the analyses true allowance being made for honest difference of opin ion - every hope will be realized.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
