Reseñas

Mildy informative, more biagraphical


(2 stars)

This work has some good information but is more a demonstration of the author's appreciation for then-modern music than how the reader can appreciate music.


(3 stars)

Regarding chapter on Bach: please hit the last vowel in “forte.” Or, omit the word.
