Excellent before, the Harvard Dictionary is better now, and remains the ideal piano-top reference for every musician, whether dilettante, serious amateur or working professional…informative and reliable…holds its place at the top of its one-volume class.
*The New York Times*

Easily the best one-volume reference source of its kind.
*Los Angeles Times*

[A] highly satisfying book of musical knowledge, in which basic definitions are given with fine intellectual integrity, and musical facts are carefully separated from plausible deductions or theories.
*Christian Science Monitor*

Authoritative in its scholarship, comprehensive in its coverage, and commendably concise in its style…a treasurehouse of musical knowledge which should be an integral part of every music library.
*Saturday Review Syndicate*

The music book of the year.
*Library Journal*
