Více o knize
Published posthumously in 1962, this volume represents the culmination of the reflections and studies of a pioneer in ethnomusicology. Curt Sachs employed criteria of musical comparison through the application of parameters such as rhythm, interval, time, and scales to different cultural areas and historical periods, from classical and pre-classical music to non-European civilizations, where the functions, norms, and social meanings of making music adhere to different needs. The Wellsprings of Music offers a sharp and balanced portrayal of the state of ethnomusicological knowledge, with its questions and problems, and remains to this day a remarkable comparative history of musical cultures.
