For readers who are unsure of the difference between an alto and a contralto, wonder exactly when to applaud at a concert, or aren't even sure what music they should be listening to in the first place, this is the perfect guide All too often, potential classical music listeners are put off due to its perceived elitism. This book gleefully dispels this notion and many others as it works brilliantly to make classical music not only accessible, but also disarmingly simple and utterly engrossing. It is broken into three sections designed to steer readers through the terminology and etiquette of classical music; open the fascinating history of the genre and its key figures over the last thousand years, showing their sheer brilliance coupled with their very human natures; and provide an indispensible reference guide for any reader, whether they prefer traditional chamber music or sweeping film scores.

This book has helped me understand a number of musical terms which helps me feel connected to what is called 'classical music'.
This book is written with a great balance of brevity, hilarity and seriousness where needed. It doesn't use a lot of technical jargon which means it is very user friendly and enables people like myself, who doesn't unnderstand musical terminology, to get an insight into this type of music. There are many pieces of classical music named to give you an example of the type of music they're talking about.
I would highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to understand classical far better than they do but they don't want to have to get a degree to do it.
Well done to the authors of this book. ( )
