Cosa rende la musica di Mozart così grandiosa. Perché un accordo minore suona triste e uno maggiore suona felice. Qual .È la differenza tra opera e operetta. Da Bach a Bernstein, questa guida definitiva offre un'indagine completa sulla storia della musica classica. Che tu ami già la musica classica o che tu stia appena iniziando a esplorarla, The Complete Classical Music Guide ti invita a scoprire la spiritualità delle messe di Byrd, la straordinaria potenza del Messiah di Handel e le meraviglie delle opere di Wagner, così come centinaia di altri compositori e i loro capolavori. Questa guida ti porta in un viaggio attraverso più di 1.000 anni, tracciando l'evoluzione di strumenti musicali, stili e generi. Le biografie di compositori maggiori e meno noti offrono approfondimenti approfonditi sulla loro musica e sui contesti storici e culturali che hanno influenzato il loro genio. Il libro esplora le caratteristiche che hanno definito ogni epoca musicale, dalla brillantezza ornata del Barocco, attraverso il dramma della musica romantica, ai generi contemporanei come il minimalismo e la musica elettronica. Cronologie, citazioni e fotografie a colori danno voce a questa musica e agli individui dotati che l'hanno creata.
