And I miss the Middle Age and the most recent books and methods ! I Started my collection with only 5 or 6 of these authors above, like D'Erlanger, Simon Jargy, Farmers, Touma... A drop of water in the ocean

Sounds good to me

Well, then you maybe should ask him by U2U?

Yes, I'm waiting for more comments from users in order to send the link of this topic. With only 3 persons agree I don't think this "new" forum will be approved...

So if you agree just write it, we would be able to create a topic for each book with links, practical examples and discussions, some of these books could easily need a whole life to be commented ! Some could translate passages for the others (French, German, Turkish, Arab...). Many perspectives to keep and build the Arab Music Theory through its multicultural essence and its intrinsic versatility -> Sounds like a political speech

The forum description below the title should be changed too, don't you think so.

It's still:

Write reviews and provide purchasing information for CDs in this forum.

... the "and books" is missing

That's enough, no needs for more.

Thanks Mike

Yes Chris, the "and books" is missing now...
