There are clear explanations of musical styles and structures, with individual studies of all the principal composers. Special attention is paid to the contribution of women composers and a final chapter traces the history of traditional and folk music from the middle ages, through the creation of commercial popular music at the end of the 19th century, to the development of rock.
