Oliver Strunk's anthology of writings about music has been revised by a team of scholars headed by musicologist Leo Treitler. It contains new selections, translations, notes and introductions as well as a section covering the 20th century.

Leo Treitler, Distinguished Professor of Music at the City University of New York, is the author of Music and the Historical Imagination, as well as other books and articles on music historiography and medieval music.
Reader Reviews
This is an excellent compendium of music philosophy from ancient times through the 20th century. The selections are grouped into large sections covering individual periods, and the sections are subdivided into subsections covering various movements. Each section opens with a helpful introduction that clarifies the material to follow, and most of the selections are complete. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the development of orchestral music and aural philosophy. For first-hand accounts, period criticism and reviews, I recommend Weiss and Taruskin's "Music in the Western World" ISBN: 0-02-872900-5.
