Summary "Storia della musica" by Alfredo Untersteiner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the evolution of music from ancient times through various cultural influences and key figures, examining both the theoretical and practical aspects of music's development throughout history. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of music's origins, comparing the complexities of studying music to understanding language. Untersteiner introduces the idea that music is an intrinsic part of human expression, more instinctive than verbal communication. He asserts that while early musical forms were likely intertwined with spiritual and religious practices, the absence of substantial historical documents makes it challenging to understand ancient music fully. The text begins to delve into the music of various ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and the Egyptians, establishing a foundation for the further exploration of music's progression in society.
