5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful anthology,
By Fernand Raynaud (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music of the Baroque: An Anthology of Scores (Paperback)
I wouldn't dream of paying list for it, but in light of used copies being available quite inexpensively, this is a little treasure of a book, most useful for anyone with a technical, say a composer's, interest in how they did that magic we call baroque music. This apparently is the score resource for a textbook. There are keyboard pieces, opera scores, religious works, small and full chamber ensembles. Mostly it uses modern notation, but there are a few facsimiles and an unmeasured prelude. The source of each score is discussed, as are performance issues. The choice of composers is of course arbitrary (41 scores in 360 pages) but very plausible. The stage is set by 8 pre-baroque scores: Pelstrina, Monteverdi et al. The printing is good, the format is handy, yet (for the most part) legible. I'd say this is just about perfect. Find a nice used copy for a few dollars, and you can't go wrong.

UNACCEPTABLE,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music of the Baroque (Hardcover)
I ORDERED ONE DAY SHIPPING FOR THIS TEXTBOOK AND IT STILL HAS NOT ARRIVED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ANY OTHER SELLER ON AMAZON WOULD BE SLAPPED WITH A NEGATIVE REVIEW AND POSSIBLY AN A-Z CLAIM. MY CUSTOMERS COUNT ON ME AND THEREFORE I COUNT ON YOU TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES YOU ADVERTISE. IF YOU CAN'T DELIVER ON WHAT YOU ADVERTISE, THEN DON'T OFFER IT. BUYER BEWARE!!! AMAZON DOES NOT ADHERE TO THE STANDARDS AND PRACTICES THEY DEMAND FROM OTHER ONLINE SELLERS!! I HOPE THIS REACHES OTHER SHOPPERS!! BEWARE!!!!!!!
