Description

The Observer’s Book of Music by Freda Dinn is a concise, pocket-sized guide for the music lover. It begins with an overview of sound and provides detailed descriptions of instruments in the modern orchestra—strings, wind, percussion, and the organ—exploring their development and origins, along with ancient instruments. The second half of the book acts as a reference, explaining essential musical terms found in concert programs and offering biographical notes on composers, both past and present.
