The English cleric and writer H. R. Haweis (1838-1901) considers the philosophical side of music and how it is connected with
emotions and morals in this 1871 publication. Containing an interesting mixture
of musical philosophy and facts, the book is divided into four sections - Philosophical, Biographical, Instrumental and Critical - each of which comprises a series of short entries or essays on a wide range
of subjects. Haweis provides informative biographies of a number of great
composers, including Handel, Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn,
 together with analysis of some of their best-known works. He takes an in-depth look at a selection of instruments, including violins and pianos, and
 concludes with a section of short essays on a wide range of topics including
brass bands, musical tastes in England, conductors and opera. Quirky and
engaging, the book contains a wealth of information and will appeal to any music-lover.
