Since its first publication in 1983, David Barber's "A Musician's Dictionary" has delighted a growing legion of readers with its witty, wacky and satirical definitions of musicians and musical technology. From "Accidentals" (Wrong notes) to Glissando (The musical equivalent of stepping on a banana peel) to "Z" (The sound made by members of the audience during a performance), Barber's wicked barbs pierce the pomposity of classical music with irreverent yet still-affectionate insight. Now, we have a brand-new edition, revised and expanded, to include dozens of new definitions.
