About this title

From Library Journal:

This set of approximately 300 essays on the standard orchestral repertory, selected from program notes written by the author for the San Francisco Symphony and Cincinnati Orchestra, is intended for the seriousbut not necessarily technically trainedmusic lover. Kramer avoids the pitfall of mere technical description, finding interesting points to discuss about each composition. The essays are intelligent, attractive, and well written, serving as excellent examples of the program writer's art. Concertgoers and record collectors will find this an attractive and refreshingly informative guide to a major portion of the most frequently performed works. Timothy J. McGee, Univ. of Toronto
