Speeding along, here we have the present musical establishment.

And into the nineteenth century.

Still cruising through a history of European music, with all these fancy Italian names and terms...

Now a discourse in several chapters on musical styles of modern Europe. Very good.

The book moves very quickly after the description of scale degrees and harmonising. I'm rushing through for the full depth of vocabulary, but I'll want to count through the scales more thoroughly later.

Best short description of intervals and inversions I've yet seen.
