5.0 out of 5 stars
Great info
I found that this dictionary, just from a quick glance at it in a store, was perfect for what I needed(which was both studying, and composing). It gave great information on composers, theory, and the ranges of most instruments(including ethnic instruments such as the er-hu and sitar).

Lack of pronunciation guide renders many entries worthless.
With all the polysyllabic terms in French, Italian and German, and the dozens of East European composers and conductors, I would like a "dictionary" of music to show me how to pronounce them. If the standard Webster's dictionary assumes I cannot pronounce c-a-t, why does their dictionary of music assume I can pronounce Dvorak, Kuijken or ripieno?

I have purchased more than a dozen dictionaries over the last few years and none have been as thorough and complete as this one. Great book!
