Title: Doesn't do the "boys" justice.
Product review: Most of this book is limited to very brief biographical summaries of pop culture composers. Barber also seemed to be trying a little bit too hard to be humourous, and his frequent banteresque footnotes were distracting and for the most part unncesessary. This book IS good for a general overview of composers and as a very sparse outline of Western music's greatest composers.
