Description:

This book examines the concepts of "classic" and "romantic" in their historical contexts and discusses the varying interpretations they have undergone, separately and in relation to each other. For each period, the author surveys the development of style characteristics, the treatment of rhythm, meter, and temp, of harmony and tonality, of motive and theme, genres and forms. He also considers such problems as national styles and the social position of music.
