This invaluable musical compendium contains biographies of over 100 composers, including many before the age of J.S. Bach, and an analysis of over a thousand of their compositions in all branches of music. To provide historical perspective, the composers are in chronological order, beginning with Guillaume de Machaut and ending with Richard Strauss. A critical evaluation and biography of each composer is followed by a list of his major works, presented in order of composition, with programme and analytical notes allowing the reader to trace the growth and evolution of each composer from apprenticeship to full maturity. Notes on early and lesser-known works are also included. Unusual and interesting features are the discussion of less familiar composers and the inclusion of detailed ballet and opera plots. "The Complete Book of Classical Music" is one of the most comprehensive single-volume reference works ever published and is now available in paperback for the first time.

A welcome new edition of this now standard work is available in paperback for the first time. Fully revised by Stephen J. Pettitt, respected music critic and author, "The World of Twentieth-Century Music" is the essential companion. New forms, new instruments and new sounds have emerged in the course of this century, blending with the old to produce major works that will stand with the significant creations of all time. In one of the most comprehensive studies of modern music ever published, David Ewen authoritatively and critically explores the development of modern music from 1900 to the present day. Entries on each composer give critical consensus, a brief biography and list works in order of composition with illuminating programmatic and analytical notes. David Ewen, 'music's interpreter to the American people' ("Time" magazine) examines in a work of encyclopaedic length and scope the currents and cross-currents of the music of our time.
