  Leonard
 1812 And All That (Bebbington - cartoonist)

It examines why Glinka's Russlan and Ludmilla Overture is suitable for boiling eggs, wheras Mozart's Magic Flute is not, and ponders the influence of Haydn's wife on the development of the sonata form. It also makes...

  Miller
 Complete Idiot's Guide to Music History

This guide makes music history interesting and fun, for both music students and older music lovers.

* Covers more than Western "classical" music-also includes non-West...
