- In the faq list, in answer to the question:
-
- Q7. What are the essential reference books to classical music?
-
- I see that, of course, the complete Grove is mentioned but, somewhat
- surprisingly, the single-volume Concise Grove is not. Was the latter
- left out intentionally because it's unsatisfactory in some way or was
- this just an oversight? I'd like a thorough, up-to-date, affordable,
- single-volume general reference and, at first glance, the Concise
- Grove looks like the one to get. Should I reconsider?
-
- Send email if you think this is an over-discussed topic. In fact, send
- email anyway; I'm not always able to read through all the articles in
- r.m.classical. Thanks --
