I have been a lover of classical music for all of my adult life and even younger than that. In that time I have read treatises, biographies, essays, and all other matters of text on the subject: this book is one to stand at the summit with them. Mr. Steinberg writes with care and passion, leaving me with an even deeper appreciation for this noble art. Absolutely a top pick.

A mass of images, rememberances, and ideals comes instantly to mind when we hear the word "symphony."
