Whether you are just venturing into the wonderful world of classical music or are a seasoned aficionado, this book will prove an invaluable tool in broadening your knowledge and deepening your appreciation of every genre from symphony to opera and the smaller forms that fill the spaces in between. In an easy-to-read, concise style, you'll be immersed in the glorious ages of classical music—from the Medieval and Renaissance through the Baroque, Classic and Romantic Periods, even dipping into the uncertain Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries—and you will be able to recognize their defining characteristics. You'll come away with more than a nodding acquaintance with the lives of the great composers of each period and develop a fresh understanding of their works. Included are a Listener's List, numerous musical examples, a composer pronunciation guide and index.
