Origins of the Popular Style: The Antecedents of Twentieth-Century Popular Music - Clarendon Paperbacks
Merwe, Peter van der (Librarian, Librarian, Natal Society Library)
This is an analysis of popular music from a musical, as opposed to a sociological, biographical or political point of view. The author surveys Western popular music in all its forms - blues, ragtime, waltzes, marches, music hall, ballads and folk music - and uncovers similarities and common roots.
