This early work by C. Whitaker-Wilson is both expensive and hard to find
in its first edition. It details the qualities and varieties of
classical music and contains chapters on concertos, the symphony, the
overture and much more. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended
for inclusion on the bookshelf of all with an interest in composers and
the history of classical music. Many of the earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We
are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.
