Gerald Abraham • Tradition of Western Music

In this acute and wide-ranging survey, Gerald Abraham deals with such subjects [...] as the musicality of different nations; the influence on music of languages, political events, and social customs; the value and danger of tradition for the individual composer; and whether the rise of electronic music, unlike earlier musical revolutions, will prove a true discontinuity which may actually mark the end of the Western tradition in music.
