Part of the seminal Cambridge History of Music series, this volume departs from standard histories of early modern Western music in two important ways.

Like New in Very Good jacket. Size: 6x1x9; A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, complete with original dustjacket, just showing a few very minor rubs.
