Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Chamber music is defined here as "classical European instrumental ensemble music for two to approximately twelve performers." Entries are arranged by subject: Basic Reference, History (subdivided by genre and geographical area), Analytic Studies, Performance Practice, Performers, and Miscellaneous. Where the literature is extensive the author limits himself to the most recent and "best" examples. The entries are generally well chosen, the annotations helpful and well considered. Assessment of such a vast literature is an arduous task that this volume accomplishes admirably. Robert W. Richart, Western Lib. Network, Olympia, Wash.
