History
The history of Music theory and of music understanding is a long and winding road rich with information on us humans and our evolution, possibly more than on the real science, knowledge, and understanding of Music and its natural intuitive phenomenon.

For a sample with more recent common music understanding and theory, MusicNovatory's Unknown Container section offers an analysis and critique of three major books dated 1960, 1978, 1995, simply concerning bars and bar-lines, and where each is blocked by a different problem and for each, a solution is provided.
