Discovering Classical Music
註釋A newbie’s comprehensive guide to the joys of classical music, including introductions to forty of its greatest composers.
 
Musical tastes may change, but the great classical composers maintain a devoted fan base—for centuries. For anyone who’s interested in classical music but finds it a bit intimidating or confusing, passionate fan and former music-industry executive Ian Christians has developed a unique approach to the genre, designed to make it as easy as possible for new listeners to explore with confidence.
 
With a distinctly unsnobbish air, Discovering Classical Music concentrates on the most legendary composers, taking you step-by-step into their most approachable music and, in some cases, boldly into some of the greatest works traditionally considered too difficult for newcomers. Rarely does a book offer such potential for years of continued discovery and enjoyment.
 
“I recommend [this book] wholeheartedly to new music lovers everywhere.” —Sir Charles Groves, CBE, from the Foreword
