Serious and not-so-serious students of music will be glad of James Glennon’s third booklet Making Friends With the Con certo. It is a companion piece to Making Friends With Music and Making Friends With the Symphony.
The new booklet analyses 70 concertos and the men who wrote them from the time of Bach and Handel to the present day. Biographical details of each composer have been supplied and something of the story be hind each composition which provides better understanding and therefore appreciation.
In the booklet, Glennon has taken the traditional definition of a concerto as a composition for a solo instrument with an orchestral accompaniment and the concertos he describes come into this classical category. (Published by Rigby Ltd., Adel aide, S.A. Price 7/6.)
