This is an account of the development of Western music, from its beginnings in the temples of Mesopotamia to the avant-garde electronic music of today, from Bach to Boulez. As he surveys the rich panorama of musical history the author discusses: the significant composers in each period--their lives, major works, techniques of composition, musical environment, and the social and political factors that affected them; the evolution of musical form--the plainchant or plainsong, harmony, the madrigal, sonata, symphony, concerto, and opera, to name a few; the evolution of musical instruments--the psaltery and dulcimer as prototypes of the harpsichord and the piano, the flute, violin, organ, trumpet, bagpipe, organ, and others.

The universally acclaimed and award-winning Oxford History of Western Music is the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin's provocative, erudite telling of the story of Western music from its earliest days to the present. Each book in this superlative five-volume set illuminates-through a representative sampling of masterworks-the themes, styles, and currents that give shape and direction to a significant period in the history of Western music. Music in the Early Twentieth Century , the fourth volume in Richard Taruskin's history, looks at the first half of the twentieth century, from the beginnings of Modernism in the last decade of the nineteenth century right up to the end of World War II. Taruskin discusses modernism in Germany and France as reflected in the work of Mahler, Strauss, Satie, and Debussy, the modern ballets of Stravinsky, the use of twelve-tone technique in the years following World War I, the music of Charles Ives, the influence of peasant songs on Bela Bartok, Stravinsky's neo-classical phase and the real beginnings of 20th-century music, the vision of America as seen in the works of such composers as W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, and Virgil Thomson, and the impact of totalitarianism on the works of a range of musicians from Toscanini to Shostakovich
