This book is a collection of pieces that describe the joys of making music not for a living but for the pleasure of doing it - "music for love". This selection includes items from all periods from the present to ancient times, though the emphasis is on the 19th and 20th centuries. The style and tone of the pieces cover a wide range too, from the amusing to the heroic, from the sentimental to the mildly erotic. An index of instruments enables musician-readers to find pieces that feature their own instrument.
