Excerpt from The History of Music: A Reference-List or Syllabus of Periods, Topics and Authorities for Classes and Private Students
The musical development of this period was confined to Europe, and chiefly to Italy, France, Germany, the Low Countries, and the British Isles. But the differences of attainment and of custom between different countries were often great. As the centuries passed, the center of musical activity and authority moved often, being transferred at certain important epochs from one nation to another. But the number of independent centers steadily increased.
