Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Why study music history? Because in music as in all other realms of human endeavor, the past influences and informs the present. Never in music history has this been more true than in our own time, when scholars have retrieved and restored so much music from the past, performers have brought it to life, and recordings, radio, and television have disseminated it more widely than ever before.
