The Norton/Grove Concise Encyclopedia Of Music

The Story

High schools that do not need (or are unable to afford) the 10-volume New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, on which this volume is based, will find this authoratative (and in some cases, updated) work useful. The 10,000 alphabetically arranged entries, written by subject specialists, cover all areas of music (e.g., composers, instrumentalists, performers, terminology). There are 1,000 entries under names of individual works. The emphasis is on classical music, but some attention is given to rock and popular music. Illustrations include pictures of instruments, diagrams for the symphony orchestra, and music examples.

A hardcover edition from 1988 of The Norton/Grove Concise Encyclopedia Of Music by Stanley Sadie. It runs to 850 pages, in very good condition. We hold one copy, so once it is gone it is gone. Shelved under Art, Photography & Music. Wrapped with care for collectors and shipped from Kuwait.
