Newcomers to the classics are often intimidated by the weight of tradition but if you want to know the score on classical music, this painless guide will get you off on the right foot. Beginning with 16th century Baroque and proceeding at a leisurely pace through the Classical, Romantic and Modern eras, Lynch's book is pitched at those who thought that adagio was a pasta. A symphony orchestra is dissected, instruments are examined, the role of conductors is given a turn and readers find out what lies behind the production of an opera. And with a guide to musical notation, the major composers, a musical glossary, suggested reading, and a listening list this makes for a wonderfully quick and complete course in musical appreciation.
