Adolf Bernhard Marx (1795 1866) was an influential music theorist,
critic, composer and pedagogue. He believed that music should be
part of everyone's general education and lobbied the Prussian
government for a comprehensive national music-education scheme.
This English translation by George Macirone of Marx's 1839
Allgemeine Musiklehre was published in 1854 as the first work in
the series Novello's Library for the Diffusion of Musical
Knowledge. The series, described by the publisher as 'a collection
of standard treatises on the art of music written by the most
esteemed English and foreign masters', was devised in response to a
growing demand for training books and manuals to support domestic
music-making. It also included Berlioz's famous treatise on
instrumentation (also reissued in this series). Marx's work covers
the basic elements of music theory, musical instruments,
compositional techniques, forms of music, performance advice, and
the importance of musical education in general.
