Description
The Oxford Dictionary of Music offers comprehensive coverage of various musical categories spanning multiple eras. With over 10,000 entries, this dictionary provides broad information on composers, librettists, singers, orchestras, ballets and operas, as well as musical instruments and their history. Recent updates have expanded the dictionary's coverage to include popular music, ethnomusicology, modern and contemporary composers, music analysis, and recording technology. Existing entries have been revised to provide more detailed information on the reception of major works and new categories such as multimedia. This dictionary is now accompanied by two useful appendices: one listing French, German, and Italian musical terms with their English translations, and an abbreviations list for letters commonly used in musical scores and writing.
