Bukofzer is best known as a historian of early music, particularly of the Baroque era. His book ''Music in the Baroque Era'' is one of the standard reference works on the topic, though some modern historians assert that it has a Germanic bias, for instance in minimizing the importance of Opera in the development of musical style in the 17th Century . In addition to Baroque music, he was a specialist in English music and music theory of the 14th through 16th centuries. His other scholarly interests included Jazz and Ethnomusicology .
