La música en la cultura griega y romana

by Giovanni Comotti, Rubén Fernández Piccardo (Translator), Andrés Ruiz Tarazona (Editor)

Although music was an essential part of Freek and Roman culture, modern introductions to the subject have often tended to be too general for the serious reader or too technical for all but the specilist. Aimed at a wider audience, this book offers a survey of Greek and Roman music from earliest times through the Roman imperial period.

Drawing upon the full range of ancient source materials, from Plato and Aristotle to the latest papyrus finds, Comotti examines such topics as musical form and style, instruments, poet-composers, and the role of music in ancient society. First published in Italy in 1979, Music in Greek and Roman Culture now appears in a revised and expanded Englsh translation in paperback.

[Meriyou]

Pequeño y conciso, tanto que la mitad se va en glosario y textos de la época. Es una pena que no queden más muestras, pero bueno es saber que está identificada la notación que usaban.
