| Summary | "The Art of Music, Vol. 02 (of 14), A Narrative History of Music" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume, edited by Daniel Gregory Mason, focuses on the development of music during the Classicism and Romanticism periods, exploring the transformative impact of composers like Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, and Brahms on musical language and expression. The opening of this volume provides an overview of the transition from polyphonic traditions to a new musical language characterized by melody and harmony. It describes the shift towards more expressive forms in music, particularly highlighting the importance of the symphony, sonata, and opera during this era. The text outlines how composers began to reflect personal emotions and social sentiments in their works, breaking away from previous conventions that linked music primarily to the church or aristocratic patronage. By introducing influential figures and defining historical contexts, the introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of music's evolution throughout the volume.
