I enjoyed this book very much. However, this is definitely not a book for the amateur musician, and is a book that the average person would not grasp very well. It would make a great textbook for a composition course or composition master class.

Working on my PhD proposal and this book covers many aspect that I was looking for.Book was received soon after ordering and in great condition as described.
