505 0 $aThis is an indispensable, easy-to-use, concise companion for concert goers, opera fans, armchair listeners, students, performers and composers -- virtually everyone who values and appreciates music. Spanning more than 400 years of musical history -- from 1550 to 1975 -- this Dictionary details the world's most important composers of music for the concert hall, church, opera and ballet. Part I arranges the composers alphabetically with a chronological listing of all their major and minor works. Also included are their birth and death dates; their nationality; the instruments for which each work was composed; and the age of the composer at the time of composition. Part II is an ingenious year-by-year survey of music that shows at a glance precisely what was happening in the musical world in any given year. Under the main heading for each year is a listing of works composed in that year, the age of the composer of each work, plus the composers who died or were born in that year. Part III is an invaluable time line that graphically plots the lifetime of each composer enabling the reader to see which of them were contemporaries.
520 $aA timeline illustrating the lifespan and contemporaries of each composer supplements alphabetical listings and chronologies of their major and minor works.
