Here is a thoroughly revised and expanded edition of the landmark musical reference book. This sixth edition contains more than 500 new entries on new musical instruments, recent compositions, new composters, and rising stars of the concert and opera worlds, as well as a new subject area, classic musicals and their composers.
I would like to thank you very much. This Book has left a very nice memory related to my childhood. It was one of the books I looked at from our family bookcase. Years later when I went to see my family I looked at the edition published in 1967 and felt as if I found my childhood friend. Thank you for your effort I'm sure it will encourage many people to at least deal with music as a starter. I had firstly read it while I was playing an organ now I started to take piano lessons and found my childhood friend to teach me things I wanted to remember. I think it is like a bible to people dealing with music. I would like to advice this book to everyone. Just buy one and keep it in a place you can easily reach.
