Summary: "In the last forty years musicology has become a flourishing academic discipline and has impressed itself on every musician and music lover. Professor Kerman's book is the first full-scale account of American and British musicology over this, the main span of its development. He treats not only the study of the history of Western art music - with which musicology is traditionally equated - but also the sometimes vexed relations between music history and other fields of music study and activity: music theory and analysis, ethnomusicology, the historical performance movement, and criticism." -- Book cover.
