Description
The Classical Music Encyclopedia, now fully updated, traces the development of Western music from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the era, followed by A to Z entries on the most important composers and musicians of the period, with an expert-recommended recording for each entry. Among them, great musicians – from Mozart to Stravinsky – have more extensive entries. The Sections Styles and Forms discuss many different musical styles, from the earliest notation to 20th-century minimalism, while the development of instruments in each era is also thoroughly examined. Written by many leading global experts in the field, this invaluable encyclopedia is comprehensive, user-friendly, and packed with information – an essential guide for readers at all levels.
