The Language of Music is a 1959 book about music by the critic and musician Deryck Cooke.
Robert M. Wallace reviewed The Language of Music in The Nation. [1]
The Language of Music is an often cited representative of the expressionist theory of art. [2] No systematic experimental study of Cooke's theory has emerged relating it to musical education, but one pilot study showed that for 22 non-musician students, his characterizations of musical phrases were not experienced. [3] The philosopher Douglas Hofstadter writes that The Language of Music is, "A valuable start down what is sure to be a long hard road to understanding music and the human mind." [4]
