5.0 out of 5 stars This book is quite simply perfect in every way! Buy it now!!, 24 Mar 2001

By	sgfaulkner@hotmail.com (England) - See all my reviews

At a glance, any student or Musician can see that this book is impressive as it is an Oxford book. Initially, when I saw that the book was under eight pounds, I was not very optomistic, but don't be fooled!! It is perfect in every way and contains all the information you would ever need, whether you are a professional in the industry or a student wishing to pursue a career in Music. It is mainly classical based so would appeal to orchestral musicians or A level students. Even as a Music Technology student, I still value it as a reference book! It is easy to use and extremely detailed. It is not too big, so it is easy to take around if necessary. This is quite literally, the only book you will need. However, it lacks information on Popular and comtemporary Music. It could be used in conjunction with other music books if a Musician wishes to build a small library of reference. Think of a word related in any way to music - it's in there! It is interesting in addition to being useful for educational purposes. Expand your knowledge and enjoy it at the same time! Well worth the money!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music, 28 Feb 2009

By	John Forrest - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)

This purchase was to replace a very much earlier edition of this excellent reference book. This new edition was delivered quickly, well packaged, and at a very acceptable price.The book itself is well produced, about half as many pages again as the previous edition I have been using, and will be an excellent addition to my reference library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Updting entries, 29 April 2009

By	Mrs. M. Ford "Marford" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)

I was looking for an updating of an entry about a relative in an earlier edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Music. I did find that the entry had been updated but it could have been more recent. It is obviously difficult to be really contemporary
