5.0 out of 5 stars Good for an intermediate student, nice illustrations, August 26, 2002

By	"brasilusa" (Reston, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This book begins with a short history of music, describing how different types of 'classical' written music evolved from the 14-15th century to the present century. Then, it has one page samples of the different types of classical music (opera, hymns, descriptive, spiritual,..) along with a brief description of the author, or the music. I liked the diagrams that illustrated these descriptions. In the back of the book are hints for playing the pieces. This book is good for an intermediate student, and gives a nice overview of classic music.
