Fuld: Master of Music

Interesting, clear and in-depth - a truly terrific and handy book.

Despite the title this appears to be a scholarly work.

I recently had an opportunity to glance at this book. The title makes it sound like a coffee-table book, but in fact it consists of hundereds of mini-investigations into the sources of very well-known pieces of music. Footnotes include references to other works and to primary sources. Recommend to anyone with an eclectic desire for information on music.
