'This text provides a unique and also comprehensive view of microtonality, represented by the important work of Erv Wilson, and links microtonal theory to instrument design in a very compelling way. It provides both a conceptual and practical approach to microtonal music and does so within a global musical perspective.'
Mathew Rosenblum, University of Pittsburgh
