The book is very different from what I thought it was going to be. It spends lots of time talking about the various eras of music and various symphonic forms. I thought it was just going to be about composers so it is very interesting and contains more than what I had expected. For a person wanting to get more interested and informed regarding symphonic music, this is a great book.

This book deserves more recognition. It is a late-in-life effort to appreciate serious music, written by a lay person with no formal expertise. It is a labor of love and reads effortlessly.
