To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OF /ESTHETICS AND PSYCHOLOGY 79 VERNON LEE ON MUSICAL ESTHETICS It is now more than a quarter of a century' since Edmund Gurney, in his remarkable book, "The Power of Sound," demonstrated how the gulf that had long separated the psychological theorist from the practicing musician might be bridged, how the fallacies born of de- ductive reasoning might be exposed by a fearless observation and study of facts, and how on the ground thus cleared a valid musical aesthetics might gradually be built. I...f Gurney 's own work was largely negative, if his keen insight discovered less new truth than old error, he at least saw where the essential problem of music lay, and by dis- encumbering it of all the a priori theories, question-begging explana- tions, and tangles of side issues that had obscured it, gave an immense impetus to the more fruitful investigations of later students. That these investigations have since 1880 proceeded apace, that they have been helpfully guided by the principles of general esthetics ascertained during the same period, and that they have already reaped a consider- able harvest of positive truth becomes at once evident to the reader of an article by Vernon Lee,^ in the Quarterly Review for January, 1906, entitled "The Riddle of Music." This article takes the form of a review of some standard and some recent books, with important supplementary discussion.
