Biographical
Encyclopedia
The
Biographical Encyclopedia
comprising 17 volumes
(plus one index volume)
contains more than 18.000
entries, including over
9.000 composers, more
than 2,000 singers and
instrumentalists, and
more than 1.000 on
theorists. Many of these
entries are on
non-western composers,
performers and writers,
and more than 500 are on
figures from Jazz and
popular music. There are
also over 500 entries on
philosophers and literary
figures, not to mention
more than 5.000 on
instrument makers,
publishers,
musicologists, writers,
librettists and visual
artists. Many appear for
the first time in a work
of reference.
The
Biographical Encyclopedia
is the work of more than
2.000 scholars from 55
countries across the
globe. All are
internationally
recognized authorities in
their field.
Equally
unique are the
discussions of subjects
touching on music,
including history, art,
literature, philosophy,
law and the natural
sciences.
