A fascinating and historical collection, written by people with a much different and closer perspective to the great composers. For example, the article on Debussy gets half of a column (he has perpetuated things likely to offend musicians' prejudices unnesccesarily), Bruckner rates a full column (an inordinate leaning towards the manner of Wagner), while Louis Spohr (famous composer) gets 7-1/2 pages plus a full-page portrait! Includes a helpful index to get you to the major articles.
