To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ordinary belief, that everything that a great musician writes ought to be " accounted for," i.e., brought 298 CONCLUSION.
into conformity with some imagined natural rule, is no very complimentary tribute to his genius ; it is infinitely more ennobling to believe, as the philosophical theory leads us to believe, that the musical forms are really the outcome of the composer's own art — the offspring of his instinctive perception of what is pleasing.
We have treated, in the foregoing chapters,... of little beyond the two main elements of composition — melody and harmony ; but the artist has gone far beyond these : he has introduced refinements which lie quite out of the pale of philosophical investigation. All such things as the force and delicacy of expression; the gradations oif forU and piano, the graces of ornamentation; the combi- nations of different qualities of tone, in the rich choice of voices and instruments ; the changes of tonality by modu- lation, in hundreds of different ways ; the multitudinous varieties of measure, rhythm, accent, and emphasis; the manifold arrangements of structural form, — all these are pure inventions of the composer's artistic mind.
