Review
The Concise Grove is, to paraphrase André Previn, to the main 20 volume Grove Dictionary of Music what the Concise Oxford Dictionary is to the complete OED – a handy and totally reliable work of reference, which has behind it the authority of the greatest music dictionary of them all. There are illustrations to help the reader identify some of the more peculiar (and, thankfully, obsolete) instruments of early music, easily digestible biographies and intriguing definitions. The best place to look when the meaning of Pythagorean intonation has temporarily slipped your mind. - review by Dan Fenton
