PREFATORY NOTE.
This book has been prepared in order to provide readerswho wish to listen to music intelligently, yet without goinginto technicalities, with a simple and practical guide tomusical appreciation written from the listener's ratherthan from the professional musician's standpoint.
The authors believe that there is at the present momenta genuine need for such a book. Teachers in schools,colleges, and universities, educators in all parts of thecountry, and the music-loving public generally, are everyday realizing more vividly the importance of applying tomusic the kind of study which has long been fruitfullypursued in the other arts; and with the adoption, in 1906,by the College Entrance Examination Board, of musicalappreciation as a subject which may be offered for entranceto college, this mode of studying music has establisheditself firmly in our educational system. Yet its progressis still hampered by the lack of suitable text-books. Theexisting books are for the most part either too technicalto be easily followed by the general reader, or so rhapsodicaland impressionistic as to be of no use to him.
In the following pages an effort has been made, first,to present to the reader in clear and untechnical language[iv] BU KİTABI OKUMAK İÇİN ÜYE OLUN VEYA GİRİŞ YAPIN!
