Concise History of Western Music combines Grout and Palisca's uncompromising reliability, scope, and respect for the narrative, while offering many more pedagogical aids, such as chapter preludes and postludes; "Etudes," excursions that explore the material more deeply than the main text; and "Windows," boxed discussions of special topics.
This book also includes numerous vignettes (quotations by musicians and writers), illustrations (16 in full color), diagrams, maps, music examples, sideheads, chronologies, and a glossary.
