Noted lexicographer Thomsett here dissects over 1,400 terms, a buttula to zither, with his acclaimed clarity and precision (""definitely recommended"" said Library Journal of his Investment and Securities Dictionary); 383 high quality original illustrations render concepts that make verbal explanation difficult. Fully cross referenced, this dictionary will prove to be the indispensable and authoritative reference for researchers, musicologists, professional musicians, teachers and students of music, and educated members of the general public. The richly detailed and comprehensive dictionary proper is followed by a five-language glossary of instruments. An illustrated notation guide provides identification of symbols used in musical scores. The final section comprehensively covers scales, keys and chords.
