Tovey is a Must Read for Musicians

All musicians must read Tovey on Forms. He is one of the most literate of musicians, and his essays are classic. The essays on musical forms may be a bit dry for the average reader since they were originally written for the Encyclopaedia Britannica. My copy published by Meridian in 1966, a 10th printing, could have had a much larger font size.
