The work aims to equip students with the tools needed to recognize the mental processes composers utilize and to deepen their appreciation of music's inherent beauty. Rather than teaching composition techniques, the book emphasizes understanding and analyzing existing musical forms. The opening of the manual introduces the necessity of form in music, laying out the importance of structure and order in compositions. Goetschius discusses how the presence of form aids in understanding and appreciating music, comparing it to the rules of architecture or nature. He presents foundational concepts related to rhythm, melody, and cadence, emphasizing the balance needed between unity and variety to create an engaging musical experience. Throughout this section, he provides guidance on recognizing the components that comprise musical phrases and encourages students to analyze the melodic sentences in various works.
