Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky's \"Rite of Spring\" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata?\u003cbr\u003e\nMaybe you don't know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn't find.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a complete classical music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential information as:\u003cbr\u003e\n* Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50)\u003cbr\u003e\n* A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer's life and work\u003cbr\u003e\n* The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs for each.\u003cbr\u003e\n* Further great works of each composer--if you really like him\u003cbr\u003e\n* Concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods\u003cbr\u003e\n* A guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra\u003cbr\u003e\n\"This book uses every conceivable gimmick to immerse readers in the richness of classical music: lists, rankings, sidebars devoted to lively anecdotes, and catchy leads.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n--The Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\n\"One terrific music appreciation book...The information is surprisingly detailed but concisely presented. Goulding's writing style is breezy yet mature....[He] has raised music appreciation from a racket to a service.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n--The Arizona Daily Star\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780449910429\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.1 x 6.1 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BALLANTINE GROUP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50206168744240,"sku":"Trans_9780449910429","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/810tHAYZUtL.jpg?v=1760085273","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/classical-music-the-50-greatest-composers-and-their-1-000-greatest-works","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
