Reviews for Penguin Dictionary of Physics: Fourth Edition

This stunning catalog will immediately become the essential starting point for all Poulenc studies....As well as being a central source for all kinds of information about Poulenc's compositions, the book is fascinating to read as a sort of Biographical history of the music. --Choice<br> In the most complete works list and catalogue of manuscripts that has yet appeared, Schmidt has made a monumental contribution to Poulenc studies, especially because the volume is so much more than a catalogue of works....'My music is my portrait, ' Poulenc stated, and Schmidt has lovingly interpreted that portrait in this work, one likely to remain definitive for many years to come. --Notes<br>
