Writing and revising this incarnation of the book has convinced the authors of the wis-
dom of the adage that two heads are better than one. Each of us has found in the other an
ideal collaborator in the process of sifting, shifting, and repeatedly refi ning our material.
But not even two heads can command all the knowledge, skills, and creative ideas that go
into producing a textbook. We are grateful to all the scholars and teachers who read and
commented on this material at various stages in its development, including Mark Katz,
John Koegel, Charles Kronengold, Beth Lev y, and Felicia Miyakawa. Students at Middle-
bury College provided valuable feedback on earlier versions of this book. Conversations
with David Hamberlin and Casey Ryan led to new insights on recent musical trends.
Sarabeth Hamberlin was an able translator and consultant on Hispanic music.
At W.W. Norton, Maribeth Payne proved once again why she is one of the most
respected music editors in the business, keeping the project on track and the big pic-
ture in view at all times. Harry Haskell and Jodi Beder exercised a fi rm but gentle
editorial hand on their authors’ prose. Courtney Fitch, Ariella Foss, and Christine
D’Antonio deftly moved the manuscript, in all its pieces, through editorial and pro-
duction phases. The artwork has benefi ted from the creativity and expertise of Fay
Torresyap and Nelson Colón. We offer our thanks as well to Ryan P. Jones of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, for writing the online chapter outlines and quizzes.
For essential contributions to the project, some of them fundamental to its existence
and others infl uential on its approach and content, Richard Crawford thanks Michael
Ochs and Susan Gaustad of W.W. Norton, Dean Paul C. Boylan of the University of Michi-
gan, the late Charles Hamm, the late H. Wiley Hitchcock, Samuel A. Floyd Jr., Jeffrey
Magee, Tamar Barzel, Amy C. Beal, Mark Clague, William J. Crawford, Amy E. Crawford,
Anne L. Crawford. Special gratitude goes to Penelope B. Crawford to whom the fi rst edi-
tion of this book was dedicated. Professor Crawford also credits several generations of
students at the University of Michigan, whose ideas about and responses to the American
musical ex perience in academic dress have done much to shape the material in this book.xx PREFACE172028_00a_i-xx_FM_r3_ko.indd xx 23/01/13 7:18 PM
