This collection of essays, first published in 1987, provides a sociological treatment of many musical forms ¿ rock, jazz, classical ¿ with special emphasis on the perspective of the practising musician. Among the topics covered are the legal structures governing musical production and the question of copyright; recording and production technology; the social character of musical style; and the impact of lyrical content, considered socially and historically.
