Greetings /his/, can you recommend me the best and most detailed book about the history of Western music? preferably from the view point of a professional musicologist, with explanations about the progress of musical ideas and theory, preferably from the classic period onwards, I'm not entirely sure this is the right board to post my query but as you are the board that's concerned with the history of concepts and my main goal is to research the history of Western music I hope that I'm not making a fool out of myself, if what I ask cannot be satisfied with just one book I would be enraptured to hear about any piece of literature that could grant me even a portion of the knowledge that I seek.
