Author Description

The lecture on 'The Psychology of Music' was written for the All-India Music Conference held at Baroda. When explained in this conference, it evoked in musical circles not a small amount of interest of the novel method adopted in treating the subject of music, a strong desire was expressed to high quarters to arrange for the delivery of the lecture again. In order to meet these pressing demands, it was found necessary to revise the lecture and publish it in book form. Attempt is therefore made in this book to show that every musical note has its own characteristic feeling to express, and that music is but the language of emotions.
