| Summary | "Musical Myths and Facts, Volume 1" by Carl Engel is a scholarly exploration of music history and ethnology written in the late 19th century. The work aims to dispel misconceptions surrounding musical traditions while presenting factual accounts of various musical practices and instruments. It likely combines essays, research, and cultural anecdotes surrounding music, drawing from different regions and historical contexts. At the start of the volume, the author introduces the idea of a well-rounded musical library, outlining the deficits in England's collection of musical works despite the nation's growing interest in music. Engel emphasizes the importance of including both well-known compositions and lesser-known works in such a library. He also discusses the significance of folk songs and national music, highlighting their role in expressing the character and sentiments of different cultures. In subsequent sections, Engel promises to delve into various musical instruments and the cultural heritage tied to them, showcasing his interest in both their historical significance and their current relevance in society.
