The only music appreciation text on the market to include listening exercises throughout the book, LISTENING TO MUSIC, Sixth Edition, masterfully develops and refines your listening skills. Acclaimed for unparalleled clarity and accuracy, using Wright will help you study efficiently, do well on your tests and quizzes, and learn to enjoy many kinds of music. Wright covers traditional Western music from medieval to modern as well as popular music and its impact on musical globalization, and music from the Far East, the Near East and Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America, drawing comparisons between Western and non-Western musical cultures. Learning to listen critically is at the heart of a music appreciation course, and Wright gives you the tools to develop and sharpen your listening skills in three important ways: First, Listening to Music is the only text to include detailed Listening Exercises throughout the book. These exercises, which ask questions just like the ones your instructor is likely to ask in quizzes, will help you focus on important musical elements and episodes and do well in the course. Second, a free "Introduction to Listening" CD is packaged with each copy of the text. This CD plays all of the music discussed in the music fundamentals chapters in Part I of the text to help you get a good start in the first few weeks of class. Third, interactive Active Listening Guides and listening quizzes, with streaming music for most of the selections in the text, are available on the Schirmer Cengage Learning website and multimedia eBook. 点击链接进入中文版： 听音乐音乐欣赏教程(附光盘1张)

本书收录唱片共500种，内容均为外国古典音乐。“古典音乐”一词是广义的，包括20世纪作曲家作品。以古典音乐唱片而论，曲目的取舍始终是第一位重要的，因此本书收选唱片的取舍原则，首先是根据曲目的重要性而定。本书在收选唱片时尽量兼顾到演奏（唱）和录音这两个方面。并且还参考了英国《企鹅唱片指南》所评“三颗星带花”的唱片榜单，收录了大多数皆为“企鹅三星带花”的名优版本。供广大音乐人士参考。本书所选唱片，在大多数情况下是指这一特定版本的CD形式，也指它的LP形式。但考虑到市场销售中LP已属罕见，CD便自然是主要形式了。也因为这一缘故，本书所登唱片封面的图片，多数是CD的。由于各唱片公司不断再版这本唱片，其封面和编号并非固定不变，因此切不可死认封面和编号，而应认定演奏（唱）者、乐团及指挥和录音时间，版本的概念是指这些不变的因素。
