From ancient Greek music and Christian plainchant to the keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, this comprehensive volume includes a rich assortment of landmark musical scores.

Designed with students in mind, this unique collection includes introductory essays at the beginning of each piece and an index of names and terms.
