Darren Henley and Sam Jackson "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Classical Music" (Elliott & Thompson)
I absolutely loved this book. It has been such a clear exposition of the genre.
This book has helped me understand a number of musical terms which helps me feel connected to what is called 'classical music'.
This book is written with a great balance of brevity, hilarity and seriousness where needed. It doesn't use a lot of technical jargon which means it is very user friendly and enables people who doesn't unnderstand musical terminology, to get an insight into this type of music. There are many pieces of classical music named to give you an example of the type of music they're talking about.
I would highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to understand classical far better than they do but they don't want to have to get a degree to do it.
Well done to the authors of this book.
