I studied this book in my "Introduction to Music" course as an undergraduate in the early 1990s. It is the best book of its kind for someone who not only needs an introduction to music but wishes to cultivate an interest in focused and well-informed listening of music. It is an invaluable book along with its set of 6 CD for anyone who wants to historically and theoretically develop his or her skills and knowledge to be a well educated listener of music. Many years after my college days, I still use this book as a valuable reference to various composers and their works throughout the history of music.

Buying the CDs separate was the only part I didn't like. I wish it had specified that it didn't come with them.
