A History of Western Music 4e Hardcover – 22 Jun. 1988

It is essential reading for my daughter's university course. It has been - and still is - very well used.

Bargain, great condition

Fantastic book. Every chapter is illustrated with samples. All what my students need.

Book came in reasonable condition (as was described), and in reasonable time.Only draw-back is that is has the full name, telephone number, and e-mail address of the person who owned the book before me was written on the inside cover; I feel that may potentially have been a safety issue if I were a psychopath.Otherwise, excellent service and price and delivery.Cheers.

This book is beautifully ilustrated and has complete informations of a huge amount of themes.. Fantastic guide of Music History!

In my opinion, this is the best existing book on the history of western music ever published. There is a host of information, written clearly, from the ancient Greece to contemporary music. I was astonished by the quality of presentation, with continous references to recorded examples, wonderful illustrations, bits of graphs and pictures showing musical notation, etc. Not to mention the extraordinarily good, vast, reasonably-priced ancillary material. This include both online and off-line materials, and it was thanks to this book that I discovered I could download some mp3 files and also access all of Naxos music library for six months with a small additional $15. Just type "a history of western music 7e" in Google and explore what is available on the first website that comes up. If you're serious about learning the history of music, buy this book now. I can guarantee you will be happy.
