Publisher's Synopsis
Composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Bach are just some of the world's most documented creators of great concertos and symphonies. Yet music created today bears little resemblance to many of their works. This volume features details of more than 500 of today's composers from around the world, including African, Asian and women composers, such as Sally Beamish, Jacques Casterede and Ahmed Essyad. The information includes: personal biographies; complete listings of works by category; critical essays; and lists of publications about the composer.
