MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC<br>Who are the ten most important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky''s "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer''s works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata?<br>Maybe you don''t know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn''t. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn''t find.<br>The result is a complete classical music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential information as:<br>* Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50) <br>* A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer''s life and work <br>* The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs
