 The Development of Western Music by K. Marie Stolba September 8, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This item's listing is misleading and incomplete. I actually need the text, The Development of Western Music: A History, and this listing stated that it was paperback, and so I thought I would save some money. Actually, what I received was an Anthology, volume 2, Preclassic through the 20th century. Of course, this anthology is to accompany the text, but it does not say that! And what about Anthology Volume 1? It is not clear, in my opinion what one is actually ordering because there is no description of the book. The anthology is very nicely produced, with a glossy cover, over sized, and it lies flat with the spiral binding, but the printing is not that good, sketchy in places, and the notation for some works is tiny and hard to read. No helpful highlighting of main themes either, as in other anthologies I own.
 A must-have for all musicians January 19, 2000

This book is a very good source to anyone who want informations about music history. It was writed by a master hand, with a complete (but not exhausting)review of the evolution of our western musical language. Further, it contains musical examples, plates with main art works and composers pictures, and timelines relating the musical history to the general one. The entries for styles and composers are clear and easy-to-read; however, they aren`t superficial. An interesting feature is the Insides sections: some important or curious things such as Vatican Council II, Musicology, and The Ophichleide. Read and enjoy! (The author relates each point of the history with musical examples. So, pump up the volume and travel through...)
