The New Grove Concise Dictionary of Music (Macmillan)
The Norton / Grove Concise
Encyclopaedia of Music (W.W. Norton)
"For handy and reliable musical reference, backed by the authority of the 20 volume Grove,
this new one-volume work is nothing short of indispensable."
- André Previn
This is the most comprehensive one-volume music dictionary ever published, and an essential reference for every
music-lover, student and professional. Newly updated, the book presents over 10,000 articles with the unrivalled authority, coverage and clarity characteristic of The New Grove. Entries cover composers and performers, instruments, terms and institutions, and hundreds of musical works. There are also historical accounts of important topics such as acoustics and harmony, and outlines of non-Western music systems. Articles are accompanied throughout by music examples and illustrations.
