Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. Good dust jacket. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
A brilliant work of reference to dung up knowledge about all the major composers, most beautifully written and interwoven with high quality reproductions of works of art relevant to the era of the compositions.
My appreciation of music has blossomed, it is a "must have" for all concert goers and collectors of serious high quality musical recordings.
A prodigious work of great scholorship, easily readable, peppered with humour and clever anecdote.
