| Summary | "Descriptive Analyses of Piano Works" by Edward Baxter Perry is a musical reference manual written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an educational resource for teachers, players, and music clubs, providing in-depth analyses of various piano compositions, particularly focusing on their emotional and descriptive content rather than solely their structural or technical aspects. It aims to bridge the gap between technical musicology and the appreciation of music as an expressive art form. The opening of the book introduces the author’s intentions and insights regarding music interpretation and appreciation. Perry explains his approach, which emphasizes the need for understanding the emotional and historical contexts of musical works. He argues that traditional methods of analysis often overlook the expressive qualities of music, proposing an "esthetic analysis" that captures the artistic significance of compositions. The opening also reflects on the challenges faced by performers in conveying the emotional depth of the music they play, setting the stage for the subsequent analyses of specific piano works, including those by renowned composers like Beethoven and Chopin.
