Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : Good. Behold, the Oxford Dictionary of Music (1994) ? the heavyweight champion of musical name-dropping, compiled by Michael Kennedy with the calm authority of a conductor who can silence a brass section by merely raising an eyebrow. This is the reference book that lets you glide from Albinoni to Zydeco without breaking a sweat or spilling your tea. Inside you?ll find: Composers who died heroically of consumption (or of deadlines). Instruments that sound like mythological creatures (hello, ophicleide). Terms that make you nod wisely at concerts (try ?appoggiatura? next time and see what happens). Tiny entries that start, ?Probably born c. 1680,? which is musicology?s way of saying, ?We did our best.? Kennedy?s prose is crisp, dry, and well-tempered ? like a piano that?s seen some things. You?ll learn why counterpoint isn?t a debate tactic, how aleatoric music isn?t strictly about dice, and why orchestral players secretly judge you for calling it a ?clarinet stick.? He also settles petty classical feuds with a diplomat?s grace: who was first, who stole whose theme, and who wrote the piece you?ve been humming since that advert in 1991. This Good condition copy has the scholarly patina you crave: pages ready to be fanned like a deck of trills and cadenzas, corners lightly rehearsed, and enough heft to press your unruly sheet music flat. It?s the sort of book that sits on a shelf like a resident expert ? not loud, but always right. Perfect for: The pianist who keeps saying, ?I know that name?? The choir soprano who wants receipts. The jazz enthusiast who insists on learning all the words before the notes. Anyone who?s ever wondered what a basset horn is and whether it requires a permit. Adopt it from Crappy Old Books , and you?ll never be unprepared for a post-concert argument again. With this on your desk, you can pronounce DvoÅák confidently, decode liner notes like ancient runes, and deliver the killer line: ?Ah yes, as Kennedy notes.? That?s the sound of intellectual fortissimo. N° de réf. du vendeur 4943
