Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
Anyone who undertakes to write the history of ancient music, Greek and Roman, faces problems very different from those which confront scholars dealing with music of other periods: one is forced to account for the lines of musical development and the most significant moments in musical history, knowing little or nothing about the actual compositions themselves that were produced and performed at the time. Read the first page

rhythmic genre, spettacolo nel mondo antico, beat precedes, rhythmic signs, double genre, enharmonic genus, greater perfect system, conjunct tetrachords, diatonic genus, chronic value, inner notes, vocal notes, musical phenomena, musical signs, melodic forms
