In his so-called 'Sociology of Music', Max Weber shows the special qualities of occidental and modern European culture in the area of music and from a universal perspective he discusses the historical conditions under which they originated. He discusses ideal types and trends of musical rationalization and their 'instrumental' form. As an analyst, he examines the connections among particular conditions pertaining to tone systems and the history of music.
