Discover the world of classical music with a sound investment in knowledge! Have you ever wondered who the top ten most important classical composers are? Or who Palestrina was? Why did Stravinsky's Rite of Spring cause a riot? What is the difference between a concerto and a sonata? If you're feeling lost in a sea of technical terms and jargon, fear not! Author Phil Goulding felt the same way and decided to create the ultimate guide to classical music.
In this comprehensive and entertaining book, you will find rankings of the top 50 composers (spoiler alert: Bach is #1 and Borodin is #50), detailed and anecdotal looks at each composer's life and work, the five primary works of each composer with recommended CDs, additional great works if you can't get enough, concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods, and a guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra.
Get ready to embark on a musical journey like never before. Classical Music is your ticket to a complete education in the world of classical music. Let the adventure begin!
