Love This Book
I originally rented this book for one of my classes, but once I got a good look at it, I quickly returned my rental and bought it. I knew this would be a book I'd want to have on my shelf forever. The writers do a wonderful job of providing insightful history into the lives of composers, the development of theory, as well as the dynamic between classical music and society. Very well written and enjoyable to read.(In all fairness though, I'm a history and classical music nerd)

Damaged Dust Jacket
I just received the book in the mail however the front cover and the binding of the front of the book is damaged quite badly. The content of the textbook is fine.

Huge book in rather small print.
Great, detailed information...but best with supplemental materials (and educator's guidance.)

Great book. My theory professor recommended it
Great book. My theory professor recommended it. It gives a great overview of everything you need to know about Western music. The layout of the pages enables for easy reading, such as the timelines and short composer bios. Probably the most underrated part of the book is the recommended reading section in the back. The book offers more specific texts for certain topics, which is tremendously helpful. I would say that this is a must have for serious musicians. Every serious musician should at least have it on their bookshelf to reference to.

A Wonderful Book With Excellent Supplementary Material !
I am reviewing the hardcover edition -- This is a truly wonderful book! Although it was designed as a music school text, it is a truly great source for an individual learner who loves music; and Norton (unlike many textbook publishers) has done an excellent job of integrating the supplementary material on the web and making that accessible to anyone who purchases a new book. In the book, the maps and illustrations do a good job of putting the musical content in an appropriate context. I treasure this book and I imagine that you will, too.
