Joel A reviewed The Rest Is Noise by Alex Ross
Review of 'The Rest Is Noise' on 'LibraryThing'
4 stars
A readable and accessible introduction to 20th century classical music. Some chapters read like adaptations of New Yorker articles (they are), but it still holds together and creates a great picture of things that I (a non-expert, non-classical-music fan) really didn't know much about.
