Printed music and writing about music involve the use of complex
systems of notation and a wealth of technical terms in several
languages. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Musical Terms provides
clear, succinct, definitions of a comprehensive range of the
musical terms, in English and other European languages, that are
likely to be encountered in Western music. Over 2,500 A-Z entries
range across a spectrum of subjects, among them: rhythm, metre,
forms, genres, pitch, scales, chords, harmony and counterpoint,
notational systems, composition and analysis, performance practice,
tempo, expression, musical periods, artistic movements, computer
applications, acoustics, and many more. Entries provide
etymologies, and are fully cross-referenced. Some are illustrated
with music examples and tables. An appendix lists all composers
mentioned in the Dictionary, with their dates. It is an ideal book
for students and teachers of music - it covers all the terms
required in the SMAB musical theory exams - as well as for
professional musicians, those learning to play musical instruments,
and members of choirs, and musical groups. It will also be a useful
quick reference book for concert-goers, CD-collectors, and radio
listeners.
