Hearing In Time : Psychological Aspects of Musical Meter-Second Edition.

Discussed are examples from a wide range of musical styles and cultures--from Beethoven and Bach to Brubeck and Ghanaian (Ewe) drumming. In taking this broad approach, a number of fundamental similarities between a variety of different metric phenomena become apparent (such as the difference between so-called simple meter versus complex or additive meters). It also approaches meter in the context of music as it is actually performed, with nuances of timing and dynamics, rather than as a theoretical idealization.
