This is the Best Bird Book on the market for beginers and those of experience. It is visually more complete than other books that I have or seen. It is a must as a birders' companion.

William Sanford LA Sor, David Allan Hubbard, ...

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1996

Analysis of Tonal Music: A Schenkerian Approach

Allen Cadwallader, David Gagne

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Best introduction to Schenkarian Analysis
I agree whole hearted with Perry's review, but give this book 5 Stars as it really is the best introduction to this subject. The book is clear and well laid out but it could benefit with more details on larger forms and completed analyses. That being said you should be ...
