Аннотация
In
presenting this survey of the rich terrain of American popular music
during the rock era, we hope to have created a book capable of serving
a number of purposes. It may be used as a text for introductory
college-level courses, obviously, as it assumes a mature and literate
reader but not one who necessarily has any specific background in music
or in this particular area of musical study. These same assumptions
will also make this book useful to the general reader who wishes a
broad-based introduction to our subject. In addition, this volume will
serve the interests of specialists—musicians, graduate students,
teachers, and scholars—who need a one-volume overview, or review, of
the topic. We have kept this wide potential audience constantly in mind
as we strove to keep our book accessible and inviting, while always
reflecting our own deep involvement in the music and in contemporary
scholarly issues surrounding it.
