Introduction: "Music is a Dualism. It is formed of the conjunction of two elements-the one purely musical, the other poetical - the one sensuous, the other spiritiual or intellectual - the one owing its origin and development to Instruments, and based othe mere animal delight in Sound; the other owing its origin and development to Language, and based on the fusion of the Emotional and Intellectual sides of man's nature."
