The Enjoyment of Music: An Introduction to Perceptive Listening (Revised Edition)

The revised edition of "The Enjoyment of Music" retains the basic plan and principle that contributed to its becoming the most successful book in music appreciation yet (1963) published. Many new features have been added. After a section on the materials of music, the author presents successively the music of 19th-Century Romanticism and 18th-Century Classicism; the Older Music - the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque; and the 20th-Centuary - Impressionism, Contemporary Europeans, and the American School.
