The Enjoyment of Music Author:Joseph Machlis This book has grown out of the introductory course in music at Queens College of the City of New York. The primary goal is to arouse the student's interest in and enjoyment of music; beyond that, to impart to him such knowledge as would help him respond to those works that constitute our musical heritage.
An introduction to Contemporary Music and the Great American Composers of our time... Joseph Machlis is a Professor of Music at Queens College in New York. Very nice book with pictures and illustrations.
