-
A summary of the history of Western musical instruments from the middle ages through the nineteenth century.
-
Addresses Western instruments and how they change over time to produce their given sounds. Many details and technological aspects of instruments had to be excluded because of the vastness of the subject and many variations of the instruments. Instruments covered range from the middle ages through the nineteenth century, with a brief first section on European instruments before 1500.
-
Text is organized by historical period and includes many illustrations and photos of instruments. A bibliography, an index of instruments, and an index of people, are found at the end of the book.
