Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Musical Education
Art is the product of the human mind, always tend ing to ennoble, to poetize and idealize the materials furnished by nature.
Science, as cold and positive as Art is exuberant, appears here with its numbers and exact formulae, as a salutary curb, or a pendulum charged with main taining the equilibrium.
From Language is born Art, which could not exist without it, and which Science comes in her turn to explain, and prop up in some measure, by guiding her in her developments, and preventing her some times from wandering into dangerous and blind paths.
