Product Description
"This Handbook, thoroughly Revised and Enlarged by Mark A. Radice from its Classic Predecessors by Demar Irvine, has been designed primarily as a guide for students writing papers or theses on musical subjects - but it is useful for anyone writing for publication about music. As well as dealing with the requirements of scholarly writing, from citation and documentation to the mechanics of punctuation and abbreviation, it also addresses the specific circumstances that arise in writing about music, such as the use of musical examples to supplement prose text. Above all, it is a sensible guide to good writing, presenting concrete suggestions for more effective communication of ideas."--BOOK JACKET.

Not comprehensive enough December 30, 2002
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is probably okay for junior-level undergraduate students who are writing their music papers, but will be too simplified for the more advanced music students who want to produce a good essay/term paper. The parts on 'Documentation' and 'Bibliography' tend to be incomprehensive and outdated. Very often, additional manuals are needed to supplement the lack of information, particularly when it comes to 'Citations.'
