About this title

Synopsis

Nearly six thousand entries and articles define musical terms, describe instruments, and discuss musical forms, concepts, and theory.

Review

Surely this indispensable tool needs no introduction; the first two editions, edited by William Apel, have served the music world only too well. The present volume, prepared by 70 noted scholars under Randel's capable editorship, contains mostly new entries; the scope has been greatly expanded to include better coverage of recent music. A work for musicians, students, musicologists, and music lovers that belongs in most collections. -- J. Richard Belanger "Library Journal"
