Энциклопедия европейской музыки с древности до современности.
The five titles cover Western music from its earliest days to the sixteenth century, the seventeenth
and eighteenth century, the nineteenth century, the early twentieth century, and the late twentieth century.
Taking a critical perspective, Taruskin sets the details of music, the chronological sweep of figures, works,
and musical ideas, within the larger context of world affairs and cultural history.
The five books are filled with helpful illustrations that enhance the historical context
of musical composition, as well as musical examples, black-and-white pictures throughout, suggestions
for further reading, and indexes. Laced with brilliant observations, memorable musical analysis,
and a panoramic sense of the interactions between history, culture, politics, art, literature, religion,
and music, these books will be essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand this rich and diverse tradition.
