Summary/Abstract: A translation-commentary to a text by Egon Wellesz: The Origin of Byzantine Music, accentuating that despite the half a century that passed from its first edition the publication still possesses canonical features. Despite certain gaps and omissions (not always the fault of the author) the book continues to be topical. The presentation proposed by Wellesz is reliable and accessible, and its conceptual structure is understandable for a reader accustomed to analytical thinking.
