Introducing music,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introducing Music (Penguin music) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book really does introduce music! Focusing on the classical form, Otto Karolyi highlights various aspects of music that enable the listener to better appreciate orchestral and choral works.The style is lucid and topics are introduced simply. The origins of modern notation and the characteristics of each instrument in the orchestra are particularly well covered. Each section concludes with suggestions for further reading making this book and excellent starting point for further study.

Thorough overview of traditional Western music.,
By W. D. Stufft - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introducing Music (Penguin music) (Mass Market Paperback)
Otto Karolyi has written a thorough and interesting overview of the field of traditional Western music. A novice might find it difficult to grasp the contents completely without a teacher's assistance, but any serious student of music will find it a great introduction to the subject. It is a good read for anyone interested in Western music. I find it very helpful as a review when helping college students prepare for certification tests in music education or for the GRE specialty test in music. It covers a broad range of issues at a deep enough level to make it a perfect review, or introductory, resource. It would also be an excellent study guide for anyone taking college level placement or exemption tests in music theory.
