Review
"Do you know the difference between Bach, Ravel, or Dvorak? What's the difference between a symphony and a concerto? The answers-as well as a selection of 20 classics-are provided in this great introduction to the world of the classics, designed for people who know nothing about them. Top-notch intro for beginners." -- The Union Leader, October 1990
"Not only is this tape clear and informative, it is quite entertaining, and still manages to cover 400 years of musical development...Concise explanations are given for the differences among a symphony, concerto, quartet and sonata. And the program concludes with suggestions on how to learn more about classical music by listening to local radio stations and attending local concerts...This is a highly recommended tape, one that educates painlessly." -- Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
