5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent textbook, July 24, 2005
This review is from: Romantic Music: A History of Musical Style in Nineteenth-Century Europe (The Norton Introduction to Music History) (Hardcover)
This was the book chosen by my professor for an undergraduate music history course, and I can safely say that it is an excellent textbook. Plantinga's writing style is wonderfully clear and to the point, and well... respected musicologists become respected for a reason. Plantinga is one of the foremost authorities on 19th century music, and his knowledge and scholarship are extremely evident throughout the book. I would advise all music professors teaching 19th century music history courses to consider this textbook before all others.
