SCOPE & CONTENT

Volume 1 of the fourteen-volume 1915 reference series The Art of Music is devoted to The Pre-Classic Periods. The series combines narrative history, specialist essays, illustrations, reference tools and musical examples, creating a broad survey of the repertory and musical culture recognized by English-language scholarship in the early twentieth century.

Its canon, terminology and historical judgments reflect scholarship of the 1910s and should be compared with later musicology, but it preserves a detailed record of period assumptions, repertory priorities and pedagogical practice.
