"Music is formed from sounds of peculiar kinds, which, after being selected from certain elementary series caled scales, are combined and arranged into a complicated structure at the will of the composer. This definition points to three heads of inquiry, namely, the material, the primary or elementary arrangements, and the final or complex structure." --Introduction.
