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."--Publisher's description.
