A History of Music For Young People

John Russell writes with colour, simplicity, and contagious enthusiasm. His clear, good-humoured outline of the major periods and figures in musical history is an exhilarating introduction to the fascination, the excitement and the satisfaction of music. Recommended for the Grade Three level by the Royal Conservatory of Music, his book is not only for young musicians, but for any whose enjoyment of music will be helped by a clearer notion of the overall pattern of musical development.
