Roots of the Classical: The Popular Origins of Western Music
Van der Merwe, Peter (, Natal Society Library, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa)
Sets out the fundamental laws of melody and harmony, and sketches the development of tonality between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. The author focuses on the years 1770-1910, treating the Western music of this period - folk, popular, and classical - as a single, organically developing, and interconnected unit.
