*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 768 pages Published by: Belknap Press; New Ed edition October 30, 2002 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0674009789 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0674009783 Book Dimensions: 8.7 x 6.2 x 1.6 inches Weighs: 2.1 pounds *From Library Journal* Since 1944 (when Willi Apel published the first edition) and down through dozens of revised editions, The Harvard Dictionary has been an indispensable reference tool for everyone involved in music. It contains definitions and explanations of every possible musical term, instrument, and concept, as well as short biographical notes on composers, conductors, and performers. Each new edition expands the area covered, especially globally. A spot check of the contents of this volume reveals that the concise version, edited by Randel (musicology, Cornell Univ.), contains nearly all of the most important entries found in the greater edition. Invaluable--and a bargain. For all libraries. -Timothy J. McGee, Univ. of Toronto Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. *Product Review* Considering scope, reliability, and cost, this is the preferred single-volume music reference for college libraries, even though it overlaps the works on which it is based, which are in most academic collections. It will appeal to undergraduates and students majoring outside music, and will give reference librarians a promising first port of call for many types of inquiry. --G.A. Marco (Choice ) Since 1944 (when Willi Apel published the first edition) and down through dozens of revised editions, The Harvard Dictionary has been an indispensable reference tool for everyone involved in music.

McGee (Library Journal ) The Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music and Musicians is convenient and authoritative. (Booklist ) *Reader Reviews* Gives tons of information of musicians and music concepts that are helpful for writing research papers. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
