About this book

Henry Edward Krehbiel's book "How to Listen to Music, 7th ed." is a reference meant to improve readers' appreciation of classical music. Published by Project Gutenberg, it is meant for casual art enthusiasts rather than professional musicians. Broad guidance on composers, styles, instruments, settings, and whether or not to believe critics is provided in the book. It makes difficult musical topics understandable to readers with varying degrees of musical background by breaking them down into simple explanations.

About the author

Henry Edward Krehbiel

Henry Edward Krehbiel reviewed music for the New-York Tribune for more than forty years, from 1880 until his death in 1923, and did as much as anyone to build an American concert audience that knew what it was hearing. How to Listen to Music, first published in 1896, went through edition after edition doing what its title says.
