The influential music theorist and composer Adolf Bernhard Marx
(1795-1866) spent much of his career as a professor of music in
Berlin and was a friend and mentor of Mendelssohn. He believed
music should be part of everyone's general education and lobbied
the Prussian government for a comprehensive national scheme for
musical education. His compositions included many songs and choral
works now largely forgotten, with the exception of the 1841
oratorio Mose. Among his publications is Gluck und die Oper (1863)
which is reissued in this series in both the German original and
English translation. His most famous and influential work, Die
Lehre von der musikalischen Komposition, was intended for the
students of the University of Berlin, setting out in simple terms
the principles of music theory and composition for the untrained.
This English translation, of only the first volume of the fourth
edition, was published in 1852.
