| Summary | "A Complete History of Music" by W. J. Baltzell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the evolution of music from its ancient roots to contemporary practices, aiming to educate readers about the key developments and figures that have shaped the art form. It is particularly tailored for schools, clubs, and individual study, making it a suitable resource for music enthusiasts and students alike. The opening of the book begins with a preface outlining the pedagogical framework for effectively teaching music history. Baltzell introduces a structured approach combining recitation and lecture methods, emphasizing the importance of understanding the progression of music as an art. He highlights critical principles of music such as melody and harmony, and the role of teaching materials in fostering an appreciation for the craft. Additionally, he notes the significance of studying composers' works in conjunction with their historical contexts, setting the stage for the lessons that will follow in the subsequent chapters. This establishes a foundation for the book’s exploration of various musical traditions and contributions across different cultures and eras. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
