I'm trying to understand the meanings of style and genre when describing music. Although I sometimes see them used interchangeably, I believe there is a differnce between the two terms.
I tend to think of style as baroque, romantic, contemporary etc. and genre as classical, jazz, rock, etc.
What do you think and can you recommend a book or web site that discusses this difference in detail?
