Subj: [kl] My Defective Education
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 14:17:45 -0400

One of the defects in my musical education, one which I have often regretted,
is in the area of music history. I would like to find a book or books which
could help me understand the "timeline" of music in the last five centuries or
so -- which composers launched which great new trends, which composers were
obviously influenced by the works of which others, when were the various
classical forms we know and love first introduced, and so on. Despite 10 years
of piano lessons and 12 years of band in my youth, I have only a surface
understanding in this area, and that is a defect I wish to correct.

Amazon.com came up with 500 choices for "classical music history". Since there
are so many music educators scanning this mailing list, I'd like to find out
your recommendations.
