Listen

by Joseph Kerman, Vivian Kerman, Gary Tomlinson

Listen treats the subject of Western art music with reverence, scholarship, and thoroughness. Most importantly, it emphasizes the development and history of music within a cultural and societal context. It has beautiful illustrations. And it creates an environment in which the individuality of the teacher and his/her style can be flexibly developed while presenting a structure and organization for students of all learning styles. - Michael L. Samball, on back cover.
