An Introduction To Music
An Introduction to Music by Martin Bernstein is designed as a foundational study in music appreciation, presenting information to foster intelligent listening to works performed in concert halls, opera houses, and via modern transmission media. Explicitly noted as neither a history of music nor a technical manual, the text concentrates on representative compositions from Johann Sebastian Bach through to early twentieth-century trends, intended to be studied alongside actual hearing. Bernstein covers tone, instruments, rhythm, melody, polyphony, harmony, and musical form before exploring major composers, Italian opera, and nationalistic movements. The volume includes thematic musical notation examples, lists of suggested readings for expanded study, and detailed indexes.
