The book aims to enlighten music lovers—those who attend concerts and recitals but may not have formal training—by providing them with the knowledge necessary to enhance their enjoyment of music. Kobbé discusses the evolution of various musical forms and figures, including significant composers from both classical and modern eras, which helps readers develop a deeper understanding of musical expression. The opening portion of the work introduces the nature and significance of the pianoforte, detailing its prominent role in both personal and public musical experiences.
