Who's Afraid of Classical Music? Book

If rock 'n' roll just isn't enough for you anymore; if you loved the music from Amadeus, 2001, and Ordinary People and want to know how to find more; or if you can't wait to take full advantage of your new CD player with the music it was made for, here is a complete and totally irreverent guide to listening to, collecting and enjoying classical music. It gives you:

• the basic beginner's repertoire, from Bach partitas to Philip Glass operas
• the inside story of the great composers as real people with real foibles
• suggested tunes for Sunday brunch, highway driving, morning jogs, and nighttime seductions
• and even demystifies the dreaded "o" -word (opera)!

Who's Afraid of Classical Music? shows that when you know how to listen, this stuff can be as much fun as the Rolling Stones - and maybe more!
