Percy A. Scholes helps listeners recognise the structures, instruments and musical ideas that can make a concert more rewarding. Written for people who enjoy music without necessarily having specialist training, the guide explains how a piece develops and what to listen for as its themes and forms unfold. Musical examples and diagrams support discussions of subjects such as sonata form and fugue, while illustrations introduce the instruments of the orchestra. A concert-goer’s glossary provides an additional reference for unfamiliar terms. This tenth edition includes an introduction by Sir W. Henry Hadow and reflects the classical concert tradition of its period. It offers a systematic companion for readers who want to connect their enjoyment of music with a clearer awareness of how it is made.
