This book is not only well-written and easy to read but also extremely interesting and informative. I came away feeling as if my understanding of music had just been reinvented in the context of cognitive theory. -- Lawrence W. Baralou, Professor of Psychology, Emory University This is a marvelous book. Snyder succeeds admirably in applying concepts and facts from psychological literature to music listening. The writing is excellent throughout, lucid and insightful. -- Bruno Repp, Research Scientist, Haskins Laboratories I find the level and breadth of Music and Memory quite appealing. The book is perfect for music students and artists interested in the temporal arts. -- Stephen McAdams, Music Perception and Cognition Team, Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)
