About this book
Music as a modern art began in the plainchant of the medieval Church, and W. J. Henderson follows its growth from there in twenty-seven chapters. His account moves from harmony, notation and the birth of counterpoint to the piano, the orchestra, chamber music, oratorio and the several national schools of opera.
Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Gluck, Meyerbeer, Weber, Beethoven and Wagner each get chapters or a share of one. The last chapter is titled The Lessons of Musical History. Henderson also wrote The Story of Music and Preludes and Studies, both named on the title page.
