| Abstract | "The story of the unfolding of music down the years holds fascination for every music-lover and, as told in this book, should greatly enhance the joy derived from listening. To the author, the music-lover plays as vital a part in all music-making as does the composer and the performer; and the reader is able to share with him the enthusiasm he feels and the joy he derives from orchestral music heard at 'The Proms' or other concerts or via radio and recording. Author and reader sit, as it were, side by side at an orchestral concert, using eyes and ears to discover the function and importance of the leader, the conductor, the members of the orchestra and the timbre, technique and treatment of the instruments which they play and through which they interpret the thoughts of the master minds in music and the kaleidoscopic variety and delight of the modern orchestra."--Dust jacket. |
