Listen treats the subject of Western art music with reverence, scholarship, and thoroughness. Most importantly, it emphasizes the development and history of music within a cultural and societal context. It has beautiful illustrations. And it creates an environment in which the individuality of the teacher and his/her style can be flexibly developed while presenting a structure and organization for students of all learning styles. - Michael L. Samball, on back cover.
