Books Help Us In Appreciation Of Music On The Air
Wilmette Public library offers readers guides to opera, concert, and symphony through books and a ready listening culture. Miss Anne L Whitmack notes that listening is an art and readers should study composers and operas, aided by Daniel Gregory Mason’s Ears to Hear. The library lists numerous music books and biographies, from How to Listen to Music by Krehbiel to From Song to Symphony by Mason, covering history, forms, composers, and practical listening tips.
