Customer Reviews

postage!

I am perfectly satisfied with the product and the packing although it did not seem very secure, delivered my book in excellent condition thankyou. My only problem is the very high cost of shipping really does not make it worth while for me to buy in the States unless the book is not available in Australia.Sincerely Peg Fullerton.

A Little Less Than Perfect

Some composers of the baroque period are missing. Ex.: Christian Petzold.

An indispensable desktop reference!

This reference book fills a niche for the secondary music teacher, private tutor, and church music director searching for a scholarly, yet concise definition of musical terms and brief biographical sketches of musicians.
