20th Century Music on its own terms,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modernism and Music: An Anthology of Sources (Paperback)
Having read many histories of 20th century concert music I could not easily conceive of an addition to the canon that is as interesting, challenging and original as this. Albright has gathered together an eclectic range of primary source materials authored by composers, writers, artists and theorists all of which explore aspects of musical modernism and its putative antithesis - post-modernism. In just bringing this material together he has done music history a service. Yet in one sense what I most enjoyed is Albright's own commentaries which link his diverse sources together so effortlessly that the book reads like a novel; and his prose writing is superb. If only more "textbooks" were of this quality.
