Accessible, but not Patronizing Material on Canonical Work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Listen to the Music (Paperback)
As an arts educator and writer, I am always looking for material to share with the general public on what are often deem "high" forms of art, including orchestral music. So much material is either written strictly for the intelligentsia or comes off like an especially dry obituary for the composer. This book provides a nice, accessible, but not patronizing balance of engaging writing and historical information.

A View of the Essential Repetoire if a Bit Dated,
By Dmitri (Florida - Paradise) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Listen to the Music (Hardcover)
This book dates from 1988 and thus it's view of 20th century music is limited. It offers a pretty even view up until 1960 and even then it is pretty conservative. Otherwise it is an excellent beginner or handy reference for the classical music fanatic. It has essays on music which offer insight into individual works and the composers of those works.
