Goodall does a great job of presenting some big ideas from musical history in an accessible way. In particular it had never occurred to me that the invention of musical notation had such ramifications, it's one of those things one tends to use without thinking about where it came from.

A few interesting insights but on the whole rather pedestrian and terribly Eurocentric. The Australian lost me when he described the oud as a type of mothers.

This book was very interesting look at music and how music change through the years. The writing and editing need to be work on and the book was bit too long also the cover of book was simple but stunning.
