Features: To help more readers understand this discipline and its sub-disciplines, including their research objects, principles, methods, development history, schools, and academic viewpoints, I have compiled the lecture notes from two courses I taught and made some supplements based on the materials collected in recent years. This book is written with the hope of assisting everyone in learning and understanding various aspects of musicology. Chapter of this book is a general introduction to musicology, followed by three main parts: Historical Musicology, Systematic Musicology, and Ethnomusicology, each introducing their main sub-disciplines. At the end of the book, a bibliography of sub-disciplines in musicology is provided for further reference by universities.
