- Nota:
- "Some acquaintance with the grammar and vocabulary of music - enough to understand the language without speaking it - greatly broadens the pleasure of hearing it. Introducing Music makes the attempt to convey the elements of the art to music-lovers with no technical knowledge. Setting out from the relatively open ground of tones, pitches, timbres, sharps, flats, bars and keys, Ottó Károlyi is able to conduct the reader out into the more exciting territory of dominant sevenths and symphonic structure. His text is clearly signposted by musical examples and illustrations of instruments described, and no intelligent reader should have any difficulty in following the path. On arrival at the end, in place of being confused by the technicalities of a programme note, he should be within reach of following the music in a score." -- Publisher's Description
