Description

This remarkable revelatory reference work, written in a conversational style that is witty and fast-paced, argues that the Italian people did more for the development and propagation of music than any other people in the world. The book is filled with supporting data that prove this claim, showing that the first written music was an Italian creation, and that the vocabulary of music is primarily Italian. It also notes that the primary instruments were either devised or thoroughly improved by the Italians, the great musical forms, including the opera, ballet, operetta, and symphony, and that the great body of musical geniuses who were the early composers, musicians, conductors and vocalists were Italian. The book eventually closes with a telling of the great musical story to come out of the Italian-American communities.
