Excerpt from Famous Composers and Their Music, Vol. 1 To return to the Paris Visit, it may be deemed probable that one result of it was the erection of a new Academy of Music, authorized by the king in 1570. The only composition known to have been produced by Lasso in Paris was sent to Duke Albert as some proof of my gratitude. In 1574 Lasso set out for Paris once more, but when he had gone as far as Frankfort he learned that King Charles IX. Was dead 3 so he returned to Munich, where he resumed the work of composition with undiminished activity. Lasso never left Munich again and a detailed record of his life subsequent to 1575 would consist chie y ofa chronological cata logue of the works which he published. It may be said that he did not produce any large compositions in the years 1578 - 80. The Duke, Who had con firmed him for life in his appointment on his return from Munich, had become ill, and in October, 15 79, this generous and high-minded patron of the arts breathed his last.

MAKE A SOUND INVESTMENT IN CLASSICAL MUSIC Who are the ten most important classical composers? Who in the world was Palestrina? Why did Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" cause a riot? Which five of each important composer's works should you buy? What is a concerto and how does it differ from a sonata? Maybe you don't know the answers to these questions; author Phil Goulding certainly didn't. When Goulding first tried to learn about classical music, he found himself buried in an avalanche of technical terms and complicated jargon--so he decided to write the book he couldn't find. The result is a complete classical music education in one volume. Comprehensive, discriminating, and delightfully irreverent, Classical Music provides such essential information as: * Rankings of the top 50 composers (Bach is #1. Borodin is #50) * A detailed and anecdotal look at each composer's life and work * The five primary works of each composer and specific recommended CDs for each. * Further great works of each composer--if you really like him * Concise explanations of musical terminology, forms, and periods * A guide to the parts and history of the symphony orchestra "This book uses every conceivable gimmick to immerse readers in the richness of classical music: lists, rankings, sidebars devoted to lively anecdotes, and catchy leads." --The Washington Post "One terrific music appreciation book...The information is surprisingly detailed but concisely presented. Goulding's writing style is breezy yet mature....[He] has raised music appreciation from a racket to a service." --The Arizona Daily Star

Excerpt from Masters in Music, Vol. 1 Then, my good sir, replied Mozart, I have only to resign myself and die of hunger. And whatever were the causes of his poverty, we can have nothing but admiration for the courage with which he bore the misery and anxiety it entailed; the mental heroism with which, in his work, he held himself above them. He continued composing, from this time on, with unimpeded vigor and fertility. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
