The Oxford Companion to Music by Alison Latham
This new edition of The Oxford Companion to Music is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work, which, like its famous predecessors, will be invaluable to both professional and amateur musicians, and general music lovers. A distinguished and international team of contributors covers a broad sweep of musical subjects, ranging from composers and performers to instruments and genres.
A well-loved friend returns.. The latest incarnation is in one volume, sports a stellar contributors' list and more than matches the authority of its immediate predecessor ... probably the best one-volume music reference book going. * Times Educational Supplement *
