Editorial Review: Product Description: Printed music and writing about music involve the use of complex systems of notation and a wealth of technical terms in several languages. The 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, including in jazz and popular musical genres. Over 2,500 A-Z entries range across a spectrum of subjects, among them: rhythm, meter, 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. An ideal book for composers, professional musicians, those learning to play musical instruments, and members of choirs and musical groups, the Dictionary is also be a useful quick reference book for concert-goers, CD-collectors, and radio listeners.

 Rating:  - windsor wangThe Oxford Dictionary of Musical Terms have assited so much while studying a new work of Fryderic Chopin. I strongly and respectfully recommend this book to every piano major student. Rating: - Music dictionaryThank you, I can finally read the definition of all the words associated with my music. Rating:  - The Most disgraceful, pathetic attempt for a musical dictionary this side of the moon.In all of my studies I have not come across a more ridiculous, feeble attempt to creating a musical terms dictionary. It is unscrupulous.
