Norton Anthology of Western Music

The new books should come with the total access for the audio but the plastic seal on my volumes 1 & 2 was open when the package arrived so I guess they tore it out. Now I have to pay even more just for the DVD audio set & and adapter to play CDs on my laptop. Such an inconvenience when I have assignments to do already that require the audio access.

More information than i will ever remember, but a comprehensive, encompassing study that provides insight to and an overview of the history of music. I still play the accompanying CDs just for fun, even though I'm done with music classes.

I bought this book for my music history class. It's missing 33 pages which were sorely missed.So disappointed to find out that 33 pages are missing and 30 duplicate pages put it. How can you analyze the music when the music is not there?

Had it in time for the beginning of class. Very useful and complete. Good flexible spine for a rough college student's locker.

I bought the NEW book because it's SUPPOSED to have the recordings and it does not! I needed these for class.... FALSE ADVERTISEMENT

Needed this book for school.

Fast delivery!!! Nice quality!!!!

so heavy！

This is clearly an exceptional resource and a great anthology to have, particularly alongside A History of Western Music which references examples throughout from this anthology. Only criticism is that the paper is very thin, making the book very fragile and the pages are susceptible to tearing very easily.

Superb book

A cada edição dessa antologia o conteúdo fica melhor, além das pequenas alterações (substituições e acréscimos) no repertório. Dos três volumes da série, esse foi o que mais sofreu alterações, e para melhor.

Come il manuale di storia della musica, Norton History of Music, l'Anthology è perfetta. I commenti sono chiari, persino molto più estesi dell'edizione precedente. La storia della musica si studia così, tutto è collegato. Sarebbe utilissima una traduzione in italiano. Per insegnare a studiare la storia della musica. E per insegnare come si scrive una storia della musica, come la si spiega, come la si illustra e come potere analizzare le musiche che si stanno studiando. E per insegnare a come insegnarla.Tutto perfetto come al solito con Amazon: l'antologia è arrivata velocemente nei tempi previsti.

This is a great collection of musical scores, with a brief comment for each example. Spiral bound allows a practical use of this huge book.
