Description With this book, Joseph Kerman establishes the place of music study firmly in the mainstream of modern intellectual history.
Kerman sees and applauds a change in the study of music toward a critical orientation.
He treats not only the study of the history of Western art music--with which Musicology is traditionally equated--but also sometimes vexed relations between music history and other fields: music theory and analysis, ethnomusicology, and music criticism.
