More DescriptionThe qualitative aspects of music--what it sounds like, how expressively it is played--are every bit as important as quantitative matters--form, key, pitches, and note-values. George Pratt focuses on music's expressive nature, with games, experiments, and exercises to open our ears without being overburdened with terms and technicalities. Although primarily aimed at music students and their teachers in sixth-forms, universities and conservatoires, this bookcontributed to, and reflects, the National Curriculum in Music, while relevant to any inquisitive listener, at home or in the concert hall. Previously published by Open University Press, this new edition hasbeen fully revised for publication by Oxford.
