Scope and content
Zuckerkandl speculates about how music books available to interested non-professional individuals can be improved. He suggests that while readers wish to understand their experience of music (they seek a particular kind of "Verstehen"), books presently offer approaches that are either too technical or focus on biographical and historical scholarship. Zuckerkandl acknowledges that a book that discusses musical experience for lay people does not exist. To remedy this, Zuckerkandl suggests a book that presents music similarly to literature and art history. He recommends a multimedia approach that includes both written text and audio examples so that the listener need not rely on their imagination or recollection of music. Zuckerkandl then briefly explores ways of connecting book and LP (referred to as "die Verbindung von Buch und Platte").

Note
"FB" may be an abbreviation for "Fachbibliothek." The two drafts of "Musikbücher in der FB" are very close. Sentence level changes between versions A and B; text is slightly re-structured.
