A. B. Marx (1795-1866) was a scholar, teacher and critic of music,
for many years Professor of Music at the University of Berlin, and
a close friend - before a falling-out over the libretto of an
oratorio - of Mendelssohn. This influential book, published in
German in 1855 and translated into English in the same year,
consists of two parts: a survey of the significance of music to
western culture, and an impassioned and thought-provoking guide to
the necessary moral qualities, skills and understanding required to
teach - and to be taught - music. Marx's appreciation of such
composers as Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz and Wagner is placed in a
context in which music is seen as a crucial moral influence on the
future development of mankind, and musicians therefore as playing a
vital role in that development.
