MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC
Who are the ten most
important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did
Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each
important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how
does it differ from a sonata?
Maybe you don't know the answers to
these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding
first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in
an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to
write the book he couldn't find.
The result is a complete classical
music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and
delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential
information as:
* Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50)
* A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer's life and work
* The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs for each.
* Further great works of each composer--if you really like him
* Concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods
* A guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra
"This
book uses every conceivable gimmick to immerse readers in the richness
of classical music: lists, rankings, sidebars devoted to lively
anecdotes, and catchy leads."
--The Washington Post
"One terrific
music appreciation book...The information is surprisingly detailed but
concisely presented. Goulding's writing style is breezy yet
mature....[He] has raised music appreciation from a racket to a
service."
--The Arizona Daily Star
