Product Information
Paul Griffiths shows how music has changed through the centuries, and suggests how that change mirrors development in the human notion of time, from the eternity of heaven to the computer's microsecond. An essential read for students, teachers and classical music lovers alike.

Reviews
"Centered on the conceptualization of time in music, Griffiths' precis traces a course of development from ancient Greece and Babylonia to the present...A well-written must for classical-music listeners and teachers." -Booklist, "The book is clearly laid out, with page - heading summaries making it valuable for academic study." -International Record Review, 'A Concise History of Western Music (concise maybe, but substantial enough to merit every one of its 350 pages) is a joy.' The Book Depository, 'Griffiths finds graceful ways of saying the conventional things that have to be said and of slipping in the less conventional ... a fresh formulation of the riddle of past and present, and the future.' Joseph Kerman, New York Review of Books, 'Griffiths is reknowned as a writer on new music, and this bias brings a fresh perspective to his take on pre-20th century composition.' Classical FM, 'The book is clearly laid out, with page-heading summaries making it valuable for academic study.' International Record Review, '... thought-provoking, compelling and remarkably comprehensive narrative this is easily one of the most thought-provoking, enjoyable and stimulating reads on Western music to have been published in the past ten years.' BBC Music Magazine, 'Anyone who can write a concise history of music deserves a medal...Paul Griffiths, adept at clear, succinct presentations, manages to reduce the millennia and centuries to just 300 pages; and, to make matters easier, he gives the terms without which the story cannot be told a brisk and lively explanation and encourages the reader to read, listen further and think...an original and a stimulating book." -Methodist Recorder, 'Paul Griffiths manages to cover a huge number of composers and musical styles in his comprehensive history. He shows a clear understanding of the nature of the development of music in the West and, though clearly argued, it is a dense read.' Reference Reviews, "Hidden behind the deadpan title is an extremely rich and thoughtful text: a concise history, as it says on the tin, but also a warm meditation on the philosophy of music...Each chapter culminates in a subtle cliff-hanger, and the whole thing reads exquisitely." -Guardian, "...(an) elegant and highly readable style...thought-provoking, compelling and remarkably comprehensive narrative...this is easily one of the most thought-provoking, enjoyable and stimulating reads on Western music to have been published in the past ten years." -BBC Music Magazine, 'Paul Griffiths, adept at clear, succinct presentations, manages to reduce the millennia and centuries to just 300 pages; and, to make matters easier, he gives the terms without which the story cannot be told, a brisk and lively explanation and encourages the reader to read, listen further and think ... an original and a stimulating book. I hope others will find it so, too.' Methodist Recorder, '... text is filled with Griffith's typically excellent thought-provoking observations ...' The New York Review, 'Hidden behind the deadpan title is an extremely rich and thoughtful text: a concise history, as it say on the tin, but also a warm meditation on the philosophy of music ... Each chapter culminates in a subtle cliff-hanger, and the whole thing reads exquisitely.' Saturday Guardian, Review Supplement, "...attention to the ways of the different musics of the past and present 'proceed through time' is the main novelty of this book...A Concise History of Western Music [is] new and distinctive. This is an adroit and knowing book..." -Joseph Kerman, The New York Review, '... an approachable and enjoyable tour of thousands of years of our cultural history, in the company of a familiar and erudite guide.' Tenby Observer, "One of the UK's most eloquent and intelligent writers on classical music, Griffiths' A Concise History of Western Music (concise maybe, but substantial enough to merit every one of its 350 pages) is a joy." -The Book Depository
