I got both it and the Levitin at the same time (about a year and a half ago), and intended to read them back to back, but that didn't happen. Maybe I'll finally get to it this summer!

Another good one is Mark Katz's Capturing Sound: How Technology Has Changed Music. It focuses on the 20th century, and covers a wide range of music, from 'classical' to hip-hop. We used it in the class I TA a year or so ago, and students really seemed to like it. And no, I'm not copying you (well, maybe on the Weisman). I actually read the Levitin over a year ago. I'm just reeaally far behind in my book reviews. Yes, I think this (or parts of it, at least) would be great for music apprec. classes.

Have you read Musicophilia? It's also on my summer reading list and it sounds a bit like that book. Thanks for always updating your website with new books:-)Hope you have a great summer!

I'd like to incorporate more stuff like this into my music apprec. classes. I think he does a good job of explaining some of the mysteries of music in a way that would be accessible and interesting for college students.
