The way Music History should be written,
By Al Wallace (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monteverdi's Unruly Women: The Power of Song in Early Modern Italy (New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism) (Hardcover)
This book was a pleasure to read: deftly written, informative, and full of interesting facts and well-argued ideas. Gordon examines both Monteverdi's music and the performance of his music from feminist and history-of-science perspectives. She demonstrates that both views enhance our appreciation of his music. Unlike some other people in her field, she uses these theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the music, rather than using the music to make dogmatic statements about theory. I can't wait to read her next book.
