Which ten classical composers rank highest in importance? Palestrina-who in the world was she? What sparked a riot over Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring"? Which five pieces by each notable composer should you purchase? What is the difference between a sonata and a concerto? Author Phil Goulding didn't know the answers to any of these questions, so perhaps you don't either. Goulding chose to write the book he couldn't find after becoming lost in an avalanche of technical language and technical phrases during his initial attempts to learn about classical music. A comprehensive education in classical music is achieved in a single volume.
