Reviews

[April Matovich · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a very thick book, in the sense of how it is written, not by page count. Expect to re-read paragraphs at least once, possibly up to three times, because it is written by an extremely intelligent German musician and musicologist, and thence translated into English.

I can also recommend the companion volume, much thinner but equally rewarding:
