Abstract This book is designed to present the history of music from the eighteenth century to the present day, with the emphasis on the composers themselves, their works, their lives, their personalities. Unlike other histories of music, its concern is only secondarily with the development of composition in form, fabric, and technique: its primary aim is to introduce the reader to an understanding of each great composer, through the critic best suited, by temperament and scholarship, to a broad interpretation and appreciation of his individual genius.
