On Purity in Musical Art (1877)

By Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut

Book Overview

On Purity In Musical Art is a book written by Anton Friedrich J. Thibaut in 1877. The book explores the concept of purity in music and how it relates to the art form as a whole. Thibaut delves into the importance of purity in musical composition, performance, and interpretation. He argues that music should be free from any extraneous elements or influences, and that it should be created solely for the sake of artistic expression. Thibaut also discusses the role of the musician in maintaining purity in music, and the importance of education and training in achieving this goal. The book offers a unique perspective on the philosophy of music and its place in society, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of musical art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
