5.0 out of 5 stars
Goodbook,
By MDM "Apfelbaum" (Frankfurt am Main) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heartland Excursions: Ethnomusicological Reflections on Schools of Music (Music in American Life) (Paperback)
I liked the book, because it gave a new perspective on Music Academies (both European and American, I guess). Not critical, but multi-perspective. And Nettl has a great writing-style that does not tire the reader.
