This book 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, 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, concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods, and a guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra.
