Title: The Art of Music - Vol. Book I - The Pre-classic Periods. Most of the Greek words included in the original work have been transliterated to the Latin alphabet. The only exception has been the words belonging to the song Prayer to the Muse. The transliterated Greek words have been signaled in the text with the sign [Greek: text transliterated]. The musical files for the musical examples discussed in the book have been provided by Jude Eylander. Those examples can be heard by clicking on the [Listen] tab.
This is only possible in the HTML version of the book. The scores that appear in the original book have been included as images. In the plain text version there are some musical signs that cannot be reproduced. They are indicated in the text with the label [music sign].
Those music signs are included as images in the HTML version of the work. In some cases the scores that were used to generate the music files differ slightly from the original scores. Those differences are due to modifications that were made during the process of creating the musical archives.
Some of the tables and diagrams presented in the plain text version have been modified from their original lay-out to avoid unsupported display. The original layout of those tables and diagrams are available in the HTML version where they have been included as images.
