Présentation de l'éditeur

MUSIC - A CRASH COURSE takes the reader on a comprehensive, guided tour of serious music, from the first cave dwellers to Philip Glass and John Adams. For anyone confused, even intimidated, by the lofty heights of classical music, this book not only explains how to talk confidently about tonality, melody and counterpoint but tells you everything you need to know about musicians, composers and movements. From the Egyptians to Gregorian chants, from Elizabethan madrigals to the splendours of Mozart and Beethoven, from the oddness of Delius to the even stranger music of John Cage, this book is the perfect introduction to serious music for everyone with open hearts, minds and ears.
