Written by a team of internationally renowned scholars and critics under the editorship of Robert Layton, it will prove invaluable to all who wish to understand more about this perennially popular form and expand their knowledge of the concerto repertoire.
Throughout, original and penetrating analyses that avoid technical jargon are illuminated by over 130 music examples.

Informative and accessible, A Guide to the Concerto will both illuminate and stimulate. No serious music lover should be without it.
