| Synopsis: |
Classical music finally has the reference it deserves: Authoritative, expertly written, and all-inclusive, The Billboard Encyclopedia of Classical Music is a comprehensive, affordable companion to a timeless genre. Organized chronologically, with copious cross-references, this encyclopedia begins on a high note with a foreword by acclaimed pianist and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy. It then traces the history of classical music from medieval times to the 21st century, highlighting key events and movements, providing biographical details on composers and performers, and examining the instruments and techniques. General editor Stanley Sadie draws on the expertise of a wide range of professional writers, educators, and musicians to place the major developments within their cultural and historical contexts. With rich details and surprising insights on most every aspect of classical music, The Billboard Encyclopedia of Classical Music is essential reading for composers, performers, and enthusiasts. |
