Item description from seller

Hardback. First Edition. Couple of small tears to top edge of back D/J. This book in contrast to 'absolute' music is the name usually given to the wide category of compositions which (in the author's phrase) tell a tale. It is created when the images and associations which take shape in the composer's mind are expressed musically. Thus his work may 'describe' a poem, a story, art, and aspect of nature, or a mood. Clearly the listener's appreciation of such works is greatly heightened by knowing the background of the tales they set out to tell. By giving this necessary knowledge in a direct and vividly expressed style of the author author's aim quite simply to provide a useful book for the non-specialist - of whatever age. Thirty-eight works from twenty-eight of the world's greatest composers are described with the affection and enthusiasm that the authors themselves feel. For easy reference the main sections are arranged alphabetically according to composer's naames. By providing drawins which are informative as well as being decorative, artist Charles King has considerably added to the value of the book. Illustrations. 152 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
