📁 Peterson Academy Presents History of Western Music with Samuel Andreyev 🎬 02/09. Musical Evolution In lecture two, we delve into development of Western music notation and theory from Middle Ages onward. We explore evolution from early neumatic notation to introduction of hexachord and four-line staff by Guido of Arezzo, and eventual standardization of five-line staff and rhythmic notation.
