Review Quotes: Musicologists should certainly find it refreshing to read writers like Geert Lernhout . . . [who write] with such ample reserves of wit and good humour. . . [The various chapters] provide plentiful food for thought. . . Lockwood offers the most eloquent statement about what is, generally, at stake. . . McCallum's . . . is the most persuasively far-reaching contribution. . . . [Donin's chapter] lifts this critical enterprise into a new and even more complex world.--Arnold Whittall "MUSIC & LETTERS"
