Review
"[A] very competent dictionary, making a great amount of accurate information easily available for the student and amateur."
--Harold E. Samuel, Notes
"[V]ery good value. . . . Intended for 'the inquiring music-lover, whether as listener or as performer, ' it makes use of the methods of popular journalism, and has much dry humour, as in the description of Jacob Avshalomov as an 'American composer--born in China of a Russian father.'"
--S. B., Music & Letters
"It is a splendidly 'functional' dictionary. Once again I admire Mr Jacobs's practical and precise approach, his intelligent choice of composers, works and technical terms for inclusion, and his succinct entries for them. . . . [A]n essential book on the musician's shelves."
--Andrew Porter, The Musical Times
"[T]he definitions are clear and exact as well as economical, and many music-lovers will find the book useful."
