Scope and content

Zuckerkandl drafts an outline for an essay that explores "how [...] people [should] be prepared for the function of [becoming] a musical audience." Zuckerkandl suggests the American people "need some kind of musical education" to accomplish this. He critiques current offerings at liberal arts colleges, namely, the "Music Appreciation" course. Zuckerkandl concludes by explaining and exalting the Great Books Program at St. John's College.
