About this book

Twenty years of teaching music appreciation at Harvard University and Radcliffe College lie behind this book by Walter Raymond Spalding. His view is that knowing musical grammar and structure lets a listener get more out of a piece, so the book treats music on its own terms and does not translate it into the other arts. The examples are standard works, with illustrations printed in separate supplementary volumes. It is dedicated to four colleagues in the Harvard music department, among them Edward Burlingame Hill and Archibald Thompson Davison.
