[ 5.0 stars ] "Nicholas Cook has the unique ability to encapsulate and articulate methods by which we can process and understand music. Given that academia (in the USA) is still hung up on the canon (or anti-canon), and cannot make the tough choices that would lead to relevance and inclusion in today's academy and cultural spheres, this book would seem to be an unintelligible read. Anyone who is interested a ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "Music is endless. That Oxford University Press thought it could make even the smallest progress towards explaining it in their series A Very Short Introduction initially seems ridiculous. But instead of trying to describe the entire history of human expression through sound, Nicholas Cook's little book focuses on identifying and challenging the preconceptions that Western readers might ascribe ..."

[ 1.0 stars ] "It is indicative of the state of play in education when a Cambridge Professor is writing tripe like this. It is an opinion piece, not an Introduction, and as an opinion piece it disparages any values: we are not to suppose there is such a thing as genius, or great art, or "high" and "low". There is a smug self-satisfied tone running through this book as well as a cold insolence that "knows best" b ..." Courtesy by Amazon
