A GUIDE TO GREAT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC - Originally published in 1943 This guide is meant to be a practical book of facts, for both reading and reference. It is written for the layman or average listener as well as the informed music-lover. The compositions themselves have been selected on the basis of frequence of their performance by the leading orchestras. Time alone determines the permanent value of a piece of music.
