This review is from: A Popular History of the Art of Music From the Earliest Times Until the Present (Kindle Edition)
This is a free book, detailing the history of music. It is not a history of Rock music, it does not even mention Rock music, as it is from a period before that style of music existed. For being so old, it is a good, solid, easy-to-fathom guide to the thousands of years, before Rock n Roll. It is very long but, it's really worth your time. You will undoubtedly learn something new. Living in the modern musical scene, this is the kind of thing we need to have accessible, at all and any times! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

This review is from: A Popular History of the Art of Music From the Earliest Times Until the Present (Kindle Edition)
This is an excellent book to read by those interested in music as a generic concept and those that are curious to know how did we get to what we hear today. Understanding how the ancient dealt with scales, harmony, Intruments and ways to control them to improve the expressiveness of the performance.Ancient Greeks, India, China, Japan, the renascence Italy, France, etc... They are all referenced here. I only wished the referenced illustrations were also included in this version of the book, but for this price, I guess one can ignore that bit.
