Book ID/图书代码： 06564014B71182

English Summary/英文概要： You’re a smart person but you don’t know a lot about classical music because they didn’t teach it in your school. Still, you know something about classical music, whether it’s the “da-da-da-dum” opening of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony or that a famous shaggy dog was named after that same composer. But when it comes to knowing your Vivaldi from your Berlioz, you find it less stressful to tune your radio to something more contemporary. If you like classical music but don’t quite know why, this book is for you. And if you love classical music but are afraid to admit it because you really don’t understand what it’s all about, this book is also for you. The Smart Guide To Classical Music shows you how easy it is to understand, enjoy and appreciate classical music - from recognizing musical pieces to distinguishing one composer from another. Here you’ll find practical, down-to-earth information in plain English. In this Smart Guide you get: Simple definitions of intimidating music jargon. Tips on how to listen to classical music and identify musical instruments. Fascinating anecdotes on the composers. How to untangle the seemingly complicated web of classical music. How to feel comfortable at a classical music concert or opera performance.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你是一个聪明的人,但你不知道很多关于古典音乐,因为在你的学校受到过这方面知识的传授。不过如果你了解一些皮毛，无论是贝多芬的第五交响乐，还是同样名声在外作曲家的‘淘气阿丹’的流行音乐。但当谈到你了解的维瓦尔第和柏辽兹，你会发现自己能感受到古典音乐所带给你的神奇力量！(Sandy)
