### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Music encyclopedia
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013*

This book is over 500 pages and it is heavy.  The big reason is because it is printed on very good, slick paper and it makes the pictures look fantastic.  It covers the general history of the orchestra and then has a history of the evolution of the musical instruments according to section.  It also contains information on instruments not always used in symphony orchestras, such as the guitar, zither, lute and various other instruments.  Composers are also listed, according to the era they wrote music in, such as Baroque, Romantic, etc.  Some items are longer than others, but they are not long enough to be boring or intimidating to the reader.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Music Teachers love this one!
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013*

I use this in the classroom constantly;  great illustrations and explanations of the entire genre of musical history.  Great tool for teaching.

    Get the big size book!
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019*

I give it 4 stars because the material and print looks small and cheap. The first time I saw this book was at the library it was a big size with rich colors and clear print. I couldn’t put it away it was so nice. And the library didn’t want me to borrow it. So I ordered one for my home but I was disappointed with the quality of this particular size. If you really want to enjoy this book please order in the big size because it is great for anyone who wants to learn about classical music and instruments.
