""Here, you might think, are a few simple ideas, repeated many times. But they go deep, and seem simple only because we've gotten used to them. They can illuminate every corner of art, and our lives.""--Greg Sandow, The Juilliard School ""Here, you might think, are a few simple ideas, repeated many times. But they go deep, and seem simple only because we've gotten used to them. They can illuminate every corner of art, and our lives.""--Greg Sandow, The Juilliard School ""What puts Chris Small in a class by himself as the leading music & society thinker to date is his balanced, beautifully crafted and always clarifying prose. A necessary completion of Small's thinking-in-writing, this book may well be the most useful, allowing readers from every interest or field to consider his timely and radically egalitarian message.""--Charles Keil, coauthor of Music Grooves ""From book excerpts of Small's classic texts to delightful, informal pieces, The Reader represents the vitality and integrity of a unique voice in music scholarship.""--Marie McCarthy, professor of music education, University of Michigan
