About this book
Reading a score involves a vocabulary as well as a set of symbols. In this 1914 handbook, Karl Wilson Gehrkens brings those two parts of musical study together for students and prospective teachers. The chapters move from note stems, clefs and accidentals to scales, tempo, dynamics and musical forms. Definitions sit alongside explanations of word origins, with attention to the spelling and pronunciation a teacher needs when explaining a term.
The discussion of intervals shows the book's method in detail. Gehrkens distinguishes the number assigned to an interval from its specific quality, then uses examples in half-steps and whole-steps to explain the difference. Appendices extend the reference material to instruments, acoustics and the history of notation, while a pronouncing index supports classroom use. Readers studying music today can use it to examine how written signs, technical language and the relationships between pitches fit together.
