Summary:
"This comprehensive collection of 229 outstanding teaching pieces illustrates every significant trend and genre of Western music from antiquity to modern times. Each is considered from multiple perpsectives-as an example of a style, a composer's output, in relation to other pieces, or as an illustration of a particular technique. Commentaries by Peter Burkholder offer insights and explanations alongside texts and translations, as well as embedded questions to help readers engage with the score more critically"--Back cover.
