“This is an excellent book that comprehensively deals with various aspects of music. … Throughout the work, each chapter begins with a detailed summary that assists the reader. The pictures, figures, and tables are of excellent quality. In addition, a valuable list of references is provided for further research. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (M. G. Prasad, Choice, Vol. 57 (11), July, 2017) “The book is highly recommended as a general introduction to these four subjects as related to music because it delivers the information in an accessible language. The authors’ approach is applicable to every musical genre, in a manner suitable for nonmusicians and nonscientists alike.” (C. Delrieux, Computing Reviews, January, 22 , 2018)
