Four Ages of Music by Walter Wiora - Beautiful Condition - REDUCED 50%

Subtitle - From Prehistoric Man to Electronic Computer, a Fresh View of the History of the World's Music

A new approach to the history of music is presented here by Walter Wiora, Professor of Musicology at the University of Kiel. Instead of the usual compartmentalization of music into primitive, "exotic", Western, and so on, and the subdivisions of Western music, for example, into folk, popular, and art music, he takes a grand and sweeping view of all the world's musics as manifestations of response to the same human needs, thus accounting for the appearance of similar types of music in regions widely separated in space and time. He sees all music falling chronologically into four periods: (1) the Age of prehistory and early history; (2) the Age of the high cultures of antiquity and the Orient; (3) the Age of the predominance of Western music; and (4) the Age of technique and of global industrial culture.

Over the next few months, I will continue listing a large number of scores for orchestra, string orchestra, wind band, and chamber ensembles that I collected over my 40-year conducting career. I will also be listing most of the (700+) books on music and musicians. If you are looking for something in particular, it is possible that I have it. Message me with a request, and it it is in my collection, I will add it to my store.

Shipping can be combined on books and scores. Message me for a combined invoice prior to paying.
