This is my favorite of Umrigar's excellent books
This is my favorite of Umrigar's excellent books.
Not "obsolete" or "useless" at all
Although I bought a copy approximately seven years ago, and first saw this book in a hardcover edition decades ago, I have not seen fit to write an actual review until now.
Thoroughly obsolete
Barbour was certainly a pioneer and he has to be acknowledged as having been instrumental in the modern revival of unequal temperaments.
Not a gentle introduction
A very tough, academic book.
A classic, essential reading if a bit dated
Barbour's book is essential reading for anyone wanting a comprehensive overview of historical temperaments, from the early Greeks to the twentieth century.
