Granted, the total number of errors for the book are not excessive, but when there are five sloppy mistakes in a space of 16 pages, it's a sign of something being wrong. Granted, most of the errors occur in the parts of the book that deal with post-1900 music, so perhaps it's a sign that these sections simply weren't considered important enough to bother proofreading we have such sloppy mistakes as (on page 318) "Bela Bartok.was born Hungary." (rather than "born IN Hungary" - I suspect the author was not suggesting that Bartok was born with an appetite, and even if he was, THAT was misspelled), or on page 324, "(George Gershwin's) parents were Russian-Jewish immigrant." rather than "immigrants", or on 325, ".clarinet solo that stasrts.", or on 330, "His textures clear." rather than "are clear", or on 334, ".the second movement in calm and lyrical." rather than "is calm and lyrical". To make matters worse, the editing in the book is atrocious for a seventh edition one would hope that the majority of the careless errors in writing would have been caught by now. (And yet another one for "Non-Western World Music".) By making vague hand-waving gestures at including recent and non-Western music but doing such a slipshod job of it, the author has seriously weakened his claim to accomplishing what he sets out to do. It seems to me that if the desire was to write a text on "classical" music from pre-1900, it would have been better to simply do so and make no attempt to PRETEND to pay any attention to anything more recent, and leave the more recent music to another book entirely. It also gives only a short chapter nod-of-the-head to non-western music, with a tiny subchapter on sub-Saharan Africa and a slightly longer subchapter on Indian Classical music and Ravi Shankar. It seems to me that if the desire was to write a text This book purports to be a survey of music from the Middle Ages through the present as such, it spends rather a lot of space covering music from 450 AD through 1900, and precious little attention on anything that could loosely be considered "modern".
