Contemplating Music. Challenges to Musicology

With this book, Joseph Kerman establishes the place of music study firmly in the mainstream of modern intellectual history. He treats no only the study of the history of Western art music, but also the sometimes vexed relations between music history and other fields: music theroy and analysis, ethnomusicology, and music criticism.
