I don't know what I was expecting from this book but it turned out to be a straightforwaed series of chapters on different
aspects of the landscape and music associated with them - Debussy's 'La Mar', Richard Strauss's 'An Alpine Symphony' and
so on. There were references to a number of modern composers not known to me but I felt that the author was straining
his brief rather in including mystic and imagined landscapes and also by reversing the equation and having a chapter on
places where music is performed. I am glad I made the effort to read it but not that impressed; possibly useful as a
reference
