Know about the book -

Studies in Music with Text is written by David Lewin and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199884633 (ISBN 10) and 9780199884636 (ISBN 13).

Throughout his career, David Lewin labored to make even the most abstract theory speak to the experience of the ordinary listener. This book combines many of Lewin's classic articles on song and opera with newly drafted chapters on songs of Brahms, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Milton Babbitt. Bound together by Lewin's cogent insight, the resulting collection constitutes a major statement concerning the methodological problems associated with interpretation of texted music.
