Encylopedia of Music

It is what it says it is, and Encyclopedia of Music. It seems very complete and it is easy to find information in it. /// WEL

Excellent Reference and a Good Read :)

This book is an excellent reference, or a good read if you feel like just browsing through the entries at random. I found the diagrams and examples very helpful, and overall highly recommend this publication.

Outstanding Source of Music Info

This reference book has it all for neophytes or seasoned musicians. It is makes fascinating random reading while containing in-depth information about everything in classical music. It is fun to pick up, open to any page, and read the contents. Far and away my favorite music book in my library, I highly recommend it to anyone with any level of interest in music. It is definitely a "must have." Dale Alberstone, Beverly Hills
