In this alphabetically-arranged guide to music, ranging from Pavarotti to Gilbert and Sullivan, and from Bach to Gershwin, Richard Baker features all the great composers and their most popular works, and also covers lesser-known composers, musical styles and movements, as well as explaining musical terms and expressions. Purchasers of cassettes and CDs should find the entries on celebrated performers a boon, whilst many readers' musical appreciation will be increased by the wealth of information on individual instruments.
