Musical Terminology: A Practical Compendium in Four Languages

Rating:
Summary: Indispensable resource in four languages for all musicians
Review: As a musician and performer it is often difficult to translate musical instruction and intent due to the use of foreign language and antiquated terms in the music scores. I purchased this compendium in hopes that it would provide a quick, efficient manner in which to translate the words and intent and it did! This is by far the best collection of music terminolgy that has ever been created and a true asset to music perfomer, teacher or student.
