Summary: Got to read it to believe it!
Review: If you can get through this confusing leviathan of a slim book, I guarantee you will know more abut the meaning of music. But not only is this full of the familiar verbal pyrotechnics of Anthony Burgess, but an amazingly diverse conflation of genres - all those announced in the baroque title, and yes, even word music to Symphony 40! Intellectually involving and challenging, rather than an emotional or historical novel. The more you know of classical music the more you'll enjoy this sly book. It repays required rereading.
