Understanding Music: An introduction to music's elements, styles, and forms - for both the layman and the practitioner 2nd ed. by William S. Newman

English | Publisher: Harper Colophon Books, 1961 | djvu | 380 pages | 5 MB
Here is a new introduction to music, carefully planned to meet the interests of the general reader and of the college student alike. That the general reader—the concertgoer, record collector, amateur performer, or other music lover—will welcome this addition to the literature intended for him may safely be assumed from a knowledge of its solid content.

It is about the college student's need for such a book that further comment is offered here.
