This book has so much knowledge in it. I know, in my heart of hearts, that it is going to be an invaluable resource in my study of music theory. It is well organised, witty, and provides you with the facts, rather than opinion.
However, I have been reading this for about 8 and a half months. My brain is filled with musical knowledge, and I could tell you an awful lot about an unreasonable amount of composers, but I need a break. Being a person who is used to reading a book every week or so, this has been tough.
If you are interested in classical music, I cannot recommend this enough. It is extremely interesting.
But I also cannot wait to get back to reading something fictional.

There’s a lot of great info in this book but Schonberg’s tone is very rude. Its like he think he’s the smartest person on earth and wants everyone to know.
