The world of music in 325,000 words and 800 illustrations. THE GOLDEN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MUSIC is a personal guide to the enjoyment and understanding of all aspects of music. It was written to fill the need for a one-volume work that ranged, in scope, from fundamentals to broad questions of musical style, and that was of value to the layman as well as the professional. This book does not merely catalogue numerous facts - it places them in a meaningful context, enabling the reader to listen to or perform music with better understanding and greater appreciation and discrimination.
