The Meaning of Music - A Study in Psychological Aesthetics by Pratt, Carroll C - 1968

New York: Johnson Reprint Corp., 1968. This edition reprints the original 1931 McGraw-Hill edition, here with a revelatory new and lengthy Introduction by the author. It is a thought-provoking exploration of musical aesthetics. CONTENTS: Introduction; The Materials of Music; The Form of Music; The Meaning of Music; Index of Names, Index of Subjects. xxxiii, viii, & 253 pages. CONDITION: The book is solid, square, and unmarked, with age-speckling/discoloration on the page-block edges and moderate edge-and corner-wear on the clothbound covers. It contains library labels on the front and back endpapers, including a Presentation plate on the front free endpaper containing the author's name. The original dustjacket (if there was one) is absent, so I fashioned a simple new replacement cover (see accompanying scan image) - now enclosed in a clear mylar (removable) protective cover.. Second Edition. Clothbound Hardcover. Good Plus/Fine (replacement). 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Presentation Copy/Ex-Library.
