THE COMPLETE CLASSICAL MUSIC GUIDE / Classical music guide general editor, John Burrows with Charles Wiffen; and contributions from Robert Ainsley [and others]. - 352 pages : colour illustrations, potraits ; 25 cm

Includes index.

The book explores the features that defined each musical era - from the ornate brilliance of the Baroque, through the drama of Romantic music, to contemporary genres such as minimalism and electronic music. Timelines, quotes, and colour photographs give a voice to this music and the exceptionally gifted individuals who created it. Covering both music history and the fundamental building blocks of music theory, The Complete Classical Music Guide explains not just the who, what, and where of classical music, but the how and why.
