Classical Music & Recordings: a primer

By Gerald Brennan

This book is intended as an introduction to the species of art music which bears the misleading appellation of Classical Music. It contains brief summaries of the most important creators in the artform over the past millennium, the forms it uses, as well as a recommendation for a core collection, notes on how to collect and where, how to stay current, and other topics associated with experiencing fully the art of what we have come to call Classical Music. It is not an encyclopedia (nor a music dictionary, which I recommend as an adjunct to this book.); it is a primer.
