Questioning the Millennium: A Rationalist's Guide to a Precisely Arbitrary Countdown (Revised Edition)

Stephen Jay Gould

Harmony, 1999

A joy to read

WHO'S AFRAID OF CLASSICAL MUSIC? : A highly arbitrary and thoroughly opinionated guide to listening to and ...

Michael Walsh

Fireside, 1989

Good intro, and more
This is a very good introduction to classical music. It's also very unconventional--it's not one of those books whose primary recommmendations are Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, the Nutrcacker, Pachebel's Canon etc. As Walsh says, he's trying to get you to love music, not ...
