The Third Music Reader (1889)

The Third Music Reader is a book written by Charles Edward Whiting and published in 1889. It is a comprehensive guide to music theory and practice, designed for use in schools and music classes. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different aspect of music education. Part one focuses on the basics of music theory, including notation, rhythm, and harmony. Part two explores the history of music, from ancient times to the present day, and includes biographical sketches of famous composers. Part three is a collection of musical exercises and pieces for students to practice and perform. Throughout the book, Whiting emphasizes the importance of developing a strong foundation in music theory and technique, and provides clear explanations and examples to help students achieve this goal. The Third Music Reader is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about music theory and history, and is still widely used in music education today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
