[Andrei Pogorilowski · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has it all: cognitive musicology, old-fashioned musicology, Schenkerian analysis, you name it.
600 large format pages of valuable information! I have used that extensively for my own proccupations – and I definitely plan to read the book again sometime. The only thing that I found intriguing is the author's disproportionate obsession with proportional tempi. Perhaps that comes from Epstein's extensive experience as an orchestra conductor.

Here is a more expert review, coming form a real scholar in musical time cognition, Bruno Repp (Haskins Laboratories):
