<br> Brown's insights into Iberia prove highly illuminating; his book is lucidly written and extremely generous with examples and documentation. It helps to have a score at hand but even the most involved parts of the analysis flow easily, and one need not be either a specialist in Schenker or sketch studies to follow it...in the end the true importance of this book lies in the narrower but brighter light it sheds on Iberia. All those interested in that work and in Debussy's 'new manner' in genereal will consult his findings with profit. --NOTES<br>
