520 _a"Is music a foreign language? You may think so when your concert programme or sleeve note gives you words like 'aleatory', 'mordent', 'tritone', and 'quodlibet'. But just as a smattering of French will get you by in the ,local bistro, so a small stock of musical definitions will serve you in your hour of need. And here they are. Most reference books tell you more than you wish to know about music. Not this one. Its ninety-nine entries are carefully selected. They come from the grey area which lies between the words that everybody wants to know, like 'aeroplane' and 'dump'. They are defined by Antony Hopkins, accurately - of course - but not too seriously, and decorated - even less seriously - by Marc." -- Book jacket
