On Purity in Musical Art (1877)

On Purity in Musical Art is a book written by Anton Friedrich J. Thibaut in 1877. The book delves into the concept of purity in music and how it is achieved through the use of natural and simple melodies. Thibaut argues that music should be free from any extraneous elements and should focus solely on expressing emotions and ideas through the use of sound. He also discusses the importance of musical education and the role of the composer in creating pure and meaningful music. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of music, as well as those looking to understand the concept of purity in art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
