Originalleinen. Condition: Gut. 577 S. Einband leicht berieben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - Biographical information is given for over 2,000 composers. It is my hope that most composers likely to be encountered in the histories of music now in general use as well as on concert programs, recordings, and radio will be found here. The amount of space devoted to each does not necessarily reflect a judgment about relative importance in the history of music; rather, I have tried in each case to give just enough facts about life and works to suggest the nature of the composer's career, and this has determined the length of entries. No attempt has been made to characterize the music of any composer with a few well-chosen adjectives. In the context of extreme brevity, such adjectives are likely at best to be amusing, at worst to impede further understanding of a composer's works.
