   Book Review


This is a dandy little (3 inches by 4 inches, 341 pages) reference work, small enough to be tucked into a pocket and exhaustive enough to be of some real use. First published in 1905, it includes everything from "elements of notation" (What's a quarter note? How do you tell a sharp from a natural? Find out here!) through a guide to key signatures, pronunciation notes and "noteworthy musicians," in a handy package useful to students, professionals and laymen alike--and all for a bargain price. Don't leave home without it.

Book Description
This handy guide has been expanded and adapted to cover all facets of music to meet the changing needs of today's musician. All of the latest musical terms, musical instruments, and performers have been added to this edition.
