GUIDESGIVEAWAY THE ROUGH GUIDE TO CLASSICAL
MUSIC This superb book
has EVERYTHING
you always wanted to know about CLASSICAL MUSIC and were never
afraid to ask.
Don't let the title mislead you - there is nothing ROUGH about
this book, not even around the edges. This 642-page guide organized
alphabetically by composer is a FINE book packed with information,
finely written in a style that makes it a joy to read, exceptionally
well-researched, and richly illustrated. Throughout the book are
feature boxes on topics of either human, historical or purely
informational interest. The list of composers is complete as can
be: it includes the greats we revere as well as the lesser known
ones whom you or I may be learning of for the first time as we
flip through the book. They range in age from 908 years (Hildegard
of Bingen) to 35 (Thomas Adès). The works, by necessity
and perhaps out of kind consideration, are not complete. The authors
have been wise to include only those works, instrumental and vocal,
that music lovers like us are most likely to listen to in performance
or on record. And in this regard, the information presented is
very comprehensive. Whether you love classical music with a passion,
or are only beginning to get the hang of it, this is a book you
would like to be always within reach. Clearly, this book is a
diamond, NOT a diamond in the ROUGH!
