Description

You love musique, but can you explain what a symphony or an oratorio is? How do you define virtuosity? What characterises Renaissance music? This book opens the doors to classical music to everyone, by providing an easy-to-read and simplified approach to the many questions that you may ask about music.

It is organised in chronological order, so you can appreciate how music has evolved over time. Each period, from the Middle Ages to the present day, is introduced by a glossary. The great composers, and also the performers who help promote classical music today, are all included, as are the different movements, such as English baroque, impressionism and serialism. The book will also introduce you to the different means of musical expression used in each epoch: the medieval plainchant, the baroque oratorio, the 19th century lieder and modern-day electronic music etc. Music is also a reflection of society: you will find out about the different sources of revenue composers had, how the fashion for salons enabled female composers to get a name for themselves, what role music played in national identity and many other fascinating subjects
