The essential canon of classical music
Dubal, David
The essential canon of classical music / David Dubal ; with illustrations by the author - 1st ed. - New York : North Point Press , 2001 - 770 p. : illus. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical (p. [709]-751), and discographical references, and index
In The Essential Canon of Classical Music, David Dubal comes to the aid of the struggling listener and provides a cultural-literacy handbook for classical music. Dubal identifies the 240 composers whose works are most important to an understanding of classical music and offers a comprehensive, chronological guide to their lives and works. He has searched beyond the traditional canon to introduce readers to little-known works by some of the most revered names in classical music-Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert-as well as to the major works of lesser-known composers. In a spirited and opinionated voice, Dubal seeks to rid us of the notion of "masterpieces" and instead to foster a new generation of master listeners. The result is an uncommon collection of the wonders classical music has to offer.
