The Enjoyment of Music: An Introduction to Perceptive Listening, 4th Edition

The Enjoyment Of Music by Joseph Machlis has long been the most widely read music-appreciation text in the English language. In this, its Fourth Edition, the author takes into account the remarkable potential for direct musical experience available to almost everybody today. As the repertory of concerts, recordings, and telecasts stretches further into the past and more immediately into the present, so this new and completely redesigned edition presents more information and guidance for the novice listener.
