This is the ultimate scholarly guide to classical, baroque, renaissance and other music and is prohibitively expensive when new. We were very fortunate to find this older edition in like-new condition via an amazon seller so that the set was more affordable. If you have a serious music student in your house or love music history and theory, this is an amazing resource and well worth the price, even in this age of the internet. If you are more interested in the history of jazz and rock, then this set would not be the best option for you.

Despite the fact many have tried to "pretend" there are other dictionarys/encyclopedias that are better than The Groves, there simply are not. Sure, The Groves is not cheap, however, if you are looking for a quality work, it will never be cheap. So, whether you are a person with degrees in Music History, or someone who just wants to have information readily available on music/musicians, this is the only way to go.

Format: Paperback
TNGMM is the complete reference source for music and musicians. No other scholarly collection has assembled so many outstanding reference sources into one collection of clear, concise, complete information. This work should be in every serious music scholars library, as well as any college or high school which has a serious music program.

This was clearly advertised as a '20 volume set', yet I received only one volume. This was either deliberately misleading or poor proofing of the ad.

I thought that this purchase was for the complete set and was disappointed that only one volume was for sale. I have since purchased the complete hardbound final hardcopy edition and am very happy with the excellent information at my fingertips. This is now only available on the internet.
