Shaw on Music [Paperback]

This volume contains the best of Shaw's musical writing, including sections on Gl?ck, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Rossini, Verdi, Berlioz, pieces on opera, musical analysis, oratorios, Gilbert and Sullivan, plus a long autobiographical preface, one of Shaw's most self-revealing works.
