The 'Outlines of Music History' is intended to meet the demand for a concise survey of the entire field of musical development, presented in the light of recent research. It is only within comparatively few years that Science has cast its searching eye upon historical statements hitherto blindly accepted; and in so doing it has found the Art of Music, especially, through its imaginative and emotional character, encrusted all along the way with a prolific growth of fables and myths. Modern music scholars have for some time been working to strip off these irrelevant accumulations and to arrange the known facts in logical sequence; and as a result the links in the chain which extends from the regions of remote antiquity to our own time are now becoming plainly visible. - Summary by Preface
