This review is from: Multimedia History of Music and Great Composers (CD-ROM)

This was a very informative cd. It covered all the periods of the creation of music. From Baroque to Contempory. It had a breif discription on each of the time periods as well as a breif discription on some of the major composers. This program loaded easily onto the computer but it was not very easy to go from composer to composer. Either it loaded incorrectly into my computer or it was bad programming but I had to shut down the program each time I wanted to go to a different composers information. I did not have to do this for the history blurbs though. Very informative but very frustrating.
