A Complete History of Music

ebook
With portraits, reproductions of instruments and musical examples. Index included. Originally published in 1908, the book covers music history of some non-Western cultures, but Western music is its main focus. From the preface, "With a view of furnishing the reader a considerable amount of material on the growth of music as an art, biographical sketches have been made short, especially since so many excellent works of that description are available at a small price. Emphasis has been laid on the work of the men who developed music, on the influences which shaped their careers and the permanent value of their contributions to music...Reference is made to representative compositions by classical and modern composers, which are part of the average teaching repertoire."
