The work focuses on a range of notable composers, including Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky, examining their contributions to the art form and showcasing Johnstone's critical insights. Readers can expect a deep dive into music appreciation intertwined with Johnstone's personal experiences and perspectives as a musician and educator. The opening of the text introduces readers to the structure and intent of the collection, beginning with a memoir detailing Johnstone's life, influences, and early encounters with music. It reveals his upbringing in a religious household, his early education, and his eventual journey into composition and critical writing. The text establishes his passion for music and the arts in general, setting the stage for the subsequent musical criticisms that evaluate notable works from various composers, reflecting Johnstone's unique voice and the intellectual connections he draws between music and broader human experiences.
