Review
Since 1944 (when Willi Apel published the first edition) and down through dozens of revised editions, "The Harvard Dictionary" has been an indispensable reference tool for everyone involved in music. It contains definitions and explanations of every possible musical term, instrument, and concept, as well as short biographical notes on composers, conductors, and performers. Each new edition expands the area covered, especially globally. A spot check of the contents of this volume reveals that the concise version, edited by Randel, contains nearly all of the most important entries found in the larger edition. -- Timothy J. McGee "Library Journal"
