More articles about 20th-century composers andcomposer-performers have been added, as well as topical articles about the gender-related, multicultural, and interdisciplinary ways that music is now being studied. Add to these changes that New Grove is also available online, making it a source that would have made its many-faceted creator Sir George Grove proud.'--'Outstanding Reference Sources,' American Libraries, May 2002.Provides brief descriptions of music genres, instruments, concert halls, and signficant moments in music history, as well as profiles of key musicians' life and works.
