"How to Listen to Music, 7th ed." by Henry Edward Krehbiel is a guide on music appreciation written in the late 19th century. The work is designed for the general public, specifically targeting those who cherish music but lack the technical training to fully comprehend and enjoy its intricacies. The author aims to enhance the experience of listening to music by providing insights into the elements that constitute musical pieces, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art form. At the start of the text, Krehbiel outlines his intention to address the sector of music lovers who may find joy in attending concerts but do so with a superficial grasp of the music they hear. He emphasizes that true appreciation of music requires active listening and a willingness to engage intellectually with musical elements like melody, harmony, and rhythm. Through observations and reflections on common misconceptions about music, he sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of how listeners can refine their listening skills, ultimately advocating for a more profound connection with the art of music beyond mere enjoyment.
