Read a sample Read a sample
A newbie's comprehensive guide to the joys of classical music, including introductions to forty of its greatest composers.

Musical tastes may change, but the great classical composers maintain a devoted fan base—for centuries. For anyone who's interested in classical music but finds it a bit intimidating or confusing, passionate fan and former music-industry executive Ian Christians has developed a unique approach to the genre, designed to make it as easy as possible for new listeners to explore with confidence.

With a distinctly unsnobbish air, Discovering Classical Music concentrates on the most legendary composers, taking you step-by-step into their most approachable music and, in some cases, boldly into some of the greatest works traditionally considered too difficult for newcomers. Rarely does a book offer such potential for years of continued discovery and enjoyment.

"I recommend [this book] wholeheartedly to new music lovers everywhere." —Sir Charles Groves, CBE, from the Foreword
