Description

Music by Percy M. Young. 'What is music? Why do we often feel, without being able to explain it, that music is important? Has it a 'meaning', and if so what is it? Are there basic differences, as we so often think, between 'classical' and 'popular' music? In examining these questions, which lie at the back of the minds on many young people, Dr Young approaches his subject from a new and rewarding angle. His book is not a manual on how to play any given instrument but an account of the history and function of music in society. He shows how social conditions have, through the ages, governed the part played by music, performers and composers,and how, finally, the responsibility for music belongs to everybody and not by any means to the musician alone; The dust jacket has light general wear with sun fade down the spine and price clipped. The book remains in a very tidy condition.
