Engaging, clear and informative, this is the story of western music
- of its great composers and also of its performers and listeners,
of changing ideas of what music is and what it is for. Paul
Griffiths shows how music has evolved through the centuries, and
suggests how its evolution has mirrored developments in the human
notion of time, from the eternity of heaven to the computer's
microsecond. The book provides an enticing introduction for
students and beginners, using the minimum of technical terms, all
straightforwardly defined in the glossary. Its perspective and its
insights will also make it illuminating for teachers, musicians and
music lovers. Suggestions for further reading and recommended
recordings are given for each of the 24 short chapters.
