| Summary | "Music and Its Masters" by O. B. Boise is a comprehensive exploration of the nature and evolution of music written in the early 20th century. The work delves into interdisciplinary themes, considering historical developments in music, significant composers, and the impact of cultural contexts on musical expression. Boise aims to provide readers with a deeper appreciation of music, emphasizing the emotional and intellectual facets that define musical art. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the concept of music as a profound art form that has evolved significantly over the ages. Boise discusses the origins of music, tracing its development from primal expressions of emotion to more sophisticated forms of musical notation that emerged in historical contexts. He highlights the dual nature of music, categorizing it into "natural" and "artificial" forms, and explains how both types serve distinct purposes in reflecting human emotions and cultural life. This exploration sets the stage for a detailed examination of various influential composers and epochs in music history, making clear that each phase in music's evolution holds intrinsic value shaped by the society from which it sprung.
