-
Dictionary of musical terms and composers.
-
From the start of western music to 1980. Appears to be mostly European and American terms and composers.
-
A list of abbreviations is given at the beginning. Most entries have only a few lines. Composers have a few more biographical details added and with some of them, a list of works is given. Most of the dates given are of the composition, but if that information is not known, the date of the first performance is provided instead.
-
Quick information to a large amount of musical terms. Notational examples are given for many of the terms.
-
There is now a fourth edition. Some terms are missing (ex. Sarabande missing although Allemande, Courante, and Gigue were included). Very few pictures.
