I can't remember the author's name but it was written in perhaps late 50s early 60s. I think you'd find it fundamentally enjoyable as it looks at music theory as well. Another book I found interesting, one that either infuriated me or made me nod my head in agreement was The Closing Of The American Mind. Alan Bloom's section on music has some rather interesting ideas in regard to music and culture. I recommend it.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, and for the good luck wishes. I've been reading your blog and enjoying it (and just added it to my blogroll). A weakness for bookstores ... physical or even online ones ... is certainly one of my character traits too. Atlanta has some fascinating used and old bookstores, also, and I hope to get out to a few of those this weekend. I started the Levitin book last night; didn't get very far before dozing off but will return to it soon. I am planning to write a few posts about it, so keep an eye out if you're interested. I'm also considering ways to include it in the class I'm taking, but don't know if I can yet because the class is just starting. Thanks again! Bye for now, Dale Hi, Cooper.

Bookstores are one of my great weaknesses, always have been. I've never read the Levitin book you reference, but as an undergrad majoring in anthropology I took a course in Ethnomusicology. Not from the psychology standpoint of course. From the standpoint of both symbolism and cultural significance music is much more. You sound like an extremely busy man. Good luck with it all.
