Product Description
Renowned for its comprehensive coverage of genres and styles in Western music from antiquity to the present, A History of Western Music has secured its place—through six editions and for almost half a century—as the definitive resource for every musician. In this latest edition, J. Peter Burkholder has renewed and updated the book to suit the ways in which instructors teach and students learn today, all while maintaining the authority and comprehensive coverage that has defined this classic text. In a shift of emphasis, this edition places people making choices at the center of the story. Linking historical and social context directly to musical practice and styles, this edition calls attention to what's important, where it fits, why it matters, and who cares.

 History of Western Music October 9, 2008
The book was in great condition. It is an easy read, especially considering that it is music history. It's also put together very logically, which is what helps it be so easily read.
Pleased with product September 15, 2008
I was pleased with this seller and the product. The product was as described and it came in a fairly short time. I would buy from this seller again.

I got the book in good time. I ended up having to mail it back just because I dropped the class, but there was nothing wrong with the book.

Most recent edition. Does not go along with NAWM 3rd edition. It must be referring to a more recent edition of that book as well.

This was a Christmas present for my wife. She sings and arranges music. I can only tell you that she is ecstatic about the book, and is excited at the prospect of going on line for the streaming music that comes with.
