In each 'Notes On...' volume, Wilson selects 20 crucial works of a given composer, discusses each masterpiece with insight, wit and verve and tells us why these works are fundamental to understanding the composer.

‘Conrad Wilson’s blend of erudition, wit and scrupulous accuracy, laced with racy anecdotal evidence, makes his writing approachable, whichever level of engagement the reader has with “classical” music. These volumes will be invaluable. (John Wallace)
‘I hugely admire Conrad Wilson’s writing, and he ably achieves his aim of widening the audience for classical music.’ (Sir Brian McMaster)
