Schirmer Pronouncing Pocket Manual of Musical Terms

This is a dandy little (3 inches by 4 inches, 341 pages) reference work, small enough to be tucked into a pocket and exhaustive enough to be of some real use. First published in 1905, it includes everything from "elements of notation" (What's a quarter note? How do you tell a sharp from a natural? Find out here!) through a guide to key signatures, pronunciation notes and "noteworthy musicians," in a handy package useful to students, professionals and laymen alike--and all for a bargain price. Don't leave home without it.
