Published in 1848, this short work by Joseph Mainzer (1801-51)
argues for the considerable value of music as part of general
education. A German priest, teacher and composer, Mainzer had an
important influence on the development of amateur music and the
choral movement in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Attracting large numbers of adult labourers, he gave free singing
classes, using his own highly influential teaching system. Music,
Mainzer argues here, not only brings direct moral and social
benefits, but also takes the place of potentially harmful habits
and leisure activities, such as the drinking of alcohol. The work
defines music in relation to its educational value and potential,
exploring the origins, development and moral influence of music
since the ancient Greeks. Mainzer also discusses the ways in which
music is taught at all levels.
