A Comprehensive Anthology of Scores Konstantinos Zampopoulos This is the second volume of the Norton Anthology of Western Music. While the first Volume covers Music of the Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods, this one deals with Music from the Classical, Romantic, Contemporary and Modern Periods. The book offers a selection of scores (92 in total) from several composers, from a period that spans over 250 years (earliest score from 1733, latest from 1966). The composers that are covered include (almost) all the "Big Names" of what people usually refer to as "classical" music: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Berl. Great Condition and Good Speed It was in the condition described--used but good, and it was delivered promptly. I had no problems whatsoever with the order.
