The Guinness Book of Music Facts and Feats

Résumé du livre

This is a book for those interested in the most entertaining aspects of the ever fascinating subject of music. The more unusual features of this enormous field are spiced up by the less well-known facts of music and the people who make it. This is thus both a book for the general reader as well as the specialist, for some subjects are discussed here for the first time outside of the sober covers of musicological publications. The contents of this book will provide entertaining matter for the concert-goer and the record collector, facts for the seeker after musical curiosities, and much material for musical quizzes.
