توضیحات:
The entries in this dictionary include the most commonly used musical terms. In addition, they include considerable material on music history, with a view to explaining the background of musical practice. The biographical articles also reflect this historical orientation, including relatively little detail about composers’ lives, which is readily available in books devoted entirely to this subject, but rather concentrating on the composer’s works. Additional historical information is provided in the form of charts that briefly identify the composers associated with important styles and periods, ranging from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.
At the end of the book, an Index of Composers lists all of the composers whose names appear in these charts, along with those who have separate entries, as well as an Index of Instruments for which there are entries. A second kind of chart is used to present notable examples of major musical forms, such as oratorio and opera. Further, the articles on musical instruments generally list some of the repertory for each instrument, in order to assist readers interested in hearing recordings featuring an instrument and, for those considering the study of a particular instrument, to indicate something about its repertory.
