About The Book: The Beautiful in Music: A Contribution to the Revisal of Musical Aesthetics (1854) by Eduard Hanslick is a foundational text in music aesthetics. In it, Hanslick argues that music’s beauty lies in its formal structure—melody, harmony, and rhythm—rather than in its ability to express emotions or tell stories. He rejects the idea of music as a vehicle for extra-musical meaning, opposing the views of composers like Wagner and Liszt. Instead, he champions "absolute music," especially works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms. The book profoundly shaped modern music criticism, emphasizing intellectual appreciation over emotional interpretation in musical experience. About The Author: Edward Dickinson (1853–1946) was an influential American music educator, author, and scholar known for advancing music appreciation and history in higher education. A graduate of Amherst College, he studied at the New England Conservatory and in Berlin, later teaching at the University of Berlin. In 1893, he joined Oberlin College Conservatory, where he developed a respected music history program. Dickinson authored key works such as The Education of a Music Lover and Music in the History of the Western Church.
