At the start of the volume, the author introduces the idea of a well-rounded musical library, outlining the deficits in England's collection of musical works despite the nation's growing interest in music. Engel emphasizes the importance of including both well-known compositions and lesser-known works in such a library.

In subsequent sections, Engel promises to delve into various musical instruments and the cultural heritage tied to them, showcasing his interest in both their historical significance and their current relevance in society.
