Meer over het boek
Published posthumously in 1962, this volume represents the culmination of the reflections and studies of a pioneer in ethnomusicology. Curt Sachs employed criteria of musical comparison by applying parameters such as rhythm, interval, time, and scales to different cultural areas and historical periods, from the music of classical and pre-classical worlds to non-European civilizations, where the functions, norms, and social meanings of making music adhere to different needs. The Wellsprings of Music offers a sharp and balanced portrait of the state of ethnomusicological knowledge, with its questions and problems, and remains to this day a remarkable comparative history of musical cultures.
