The Classical period is one of deep intellectual ferment, of rapid growth and change, and of explosive creativity in the world of music. It may have had its roots in the music of an earlier era and been the harbinger of progressive music of that which followed, but it must be seen as the necessary evolutionary era, without which modern music and all of its variety could not exist. Moreover, in opera houses, festivals, and concert halls all over the world, music from the period may indeed be performed more than any other form, making it one the most accessible and popular periods. It has remained a living and vibrant part of the repertory, indeed offered a kaleidoscope of genres and works that never cease to enchant and amaze.
Historical Dictionary of Music of the Classical Period, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,800 cross-referenced entries on composers, conductors, musicians, operas, important technical terms, and emerging musical forms. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about classical music.
