 Baroque Allegory
Bukofzer further demonstrates this sort of independence with examples from Bach where distinctly different textual concepts are supported by one and the same musical device.
Bukofzer suggests that indeed it had, and was.

The musical portion of the Bukofzer library, bequeathed to the University last spring, consists of approximately 1000 volumes, of which some 450 are books on music, 150 are miniature scores and 400 are miscellaneous scores and editions of music.
The most valuable part of the collection for research purposes is the group of microfililms and record prints assembled by Professor Bukofzer in connection with his edition of the works of Dunstable and other studies of medieval and Renaissance music.
The Music Library plans to shelve such materials in the Bukofzer Seminar Room in the new music library building, together with a complete set of the writings of this great scholar who played such an influential part in the development of the music collection at Berkeley.

Poring over the original manuscript in the British Museum, Musicologist Manfred F. Bukofzer of the University of California discovered that the 19th-Century historians were guilty of some careless scholarship.
Bukofzer pointed out that the section dated 1240 was not in the same handwriting, and hence might not have been written at the same time.
He also noted that the type of musical notation in which Sumer is icumen in was written was not in use in England until nearly a century later.

 A wider definition of Baroque Music
This statement may sound harsh and somewhat discouraging, but it’s the result of many studies done by Manfred Bukofzer, one the major musicologists of the nineteen-hundreds.
Bukofzer’s theory explains that it is fundamental to distinguish time and place of every baroque musical piece.
It’s not right, explains Bukofzer, to collocate a concert of Vivaldi with a Couperin’s ballade, or a Scarlatti’s sonata for harpsichord with one of Handel.

Manfred Bukofzer's volume in the original series was written in 1947 - clearly, much has been discovered since then.
Many others will argue over the relative weight of importance of some composers in the textbook (there are many second-tier Italian composers, and Bach only gets about 25 pages), but I believe that any professor worth his/her salt will be easily solve this difficulty by supplementing the text with a few other materials.
Though I would not rank this book as the best in the series, I do think it is certainly an improvement from Bukofzer and Claude Palisca's Prentice Hall textbook (not bad, but much less thorough).

Manfred Bukofzer had this to say about this difference:
It would be wrong to explain this preference by contending that the late baroque masters were "greater" than their predecessors; this interpretation would only confirm the lack of familiarity with the previous periods of baroque music.

More than just a chronology or lists of dates and names, there is a great deal of focus on style that helps us understand what the people of those years said they were trying to achieve with their music and art.
Bukofzer is also excellent in pointing out the differences in the aesthetics of various countries.
It was not like our time where everything is broadcast at once by the media or produced in vast quantities by huge manufacturing concerns.

 UC Berkeley Music Library, Bibliographic and Full-Text Reference Sources
But in the end Duckles went far beyond purchasing the standard tools of the scholarly trade and created an extraordinary storehouse of rare books and manuscripts that has enriched the lives of generations of students and faculty and drawn scholars from around the world.
Critical early acquisitions were the personal libraries of two eminent German musicologists, Manfred Bukofzer (who taught at Berkeley from 1941 to 1955) and Alfred Einstein.
From his teacher Bukofzer he had inherited a belief in the importance of giving graduate students in music history an opportunity to work directly with original documents rather than making do with photographic copies and modern editions.

Risorgimento thinkers and their heirs, who found in Trent the source of all their woe, cast the period into the fiery historiographical pit.
Likewise, those Catholics who hoped to square their faith with Liberalism had no use for the Curia's excessive temporal pretensions, a failing they also blamed on the Jesuits.

 Baroque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It should be noted that the application of the term "Baroque" to music is a relatively recent development.
The first use of the word "Baroque" in music was only in 1919, by Curt Sachs, and it was not until 1940 that it was first used in English (in an article published by Manfred Bukofzer).
Even as late as 1960 there was still considerable dispute in academic circles over whether music as diverse as that by Jacopo Peri, François Couperin and J.S. Bach could be meaningfully bundled together under a single stylistic term.

Forget the power of love, this is the power of yodeling.
Well, yes and no. Manfred Bukofzer, in his 1936 Magic and Technique in Alpine Music, described the magical powers of various Alpine tones when combined with certain mystical words.
Meanwhile, seventeenth-century tales describe Swiss mercenaries suffering from heimweh (homesickness) who, upon hearing certain Alpine songs, would go AWOL, go berserk, or even die.
