    About

    MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC
    Who are the ten most important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata?
    Maybe you don't know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn't find.
    The result is a complete classical music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential information as:
    * Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50)
    * A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer's life and work
    * The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs for each.
    * Further great works of each composer--if you really like him
    * Concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods
    * A guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra
    "This book uses every conceivable gimmick to immerse readers in the richness of classical music: lists, rankings, sidebars devoted to lively anecdotes, and catchy leads."
    --The Washington Post
    "One terrific music appreciation book...The information is surprisingly detailed but concisely presented. Goulding's writing style is breezy yet mature....[He] has raised music appreciation from a racket to a service."
    --The Arizona Daily Star
