If it Ain't Baroque by David Barber (Phoenix, AZ)
Not content with having hilariously skewered the great composers in "Bach, Beethoven and the Boys", in this book, "If it Ain't Baroque", musical humorist David Barber takes aim at their works as well. From Symphonies to Solo songs, from Motets to madrigals, Barber wittily yet informatively tells readers everything they need to know (and more!) about the various genres of Classical music and provides some good laughs along the way.
