A worthwhile resource to have as a revision tool for learners but also as a teaching aid and starting point within the classroom.

Detailed and accurate and focused on the exam content... The overview of context that moves through Haydn/Mozart/Beethoven is strong, and is a concise and accurate discussion of the development of the symphony... The analysis is well pitched, and whilst is very detailed, is not overwhelming for a candidate to read through for revision and with a score in front of them... The language used in this resource is really appropriate for this level of course, and really helps the student to cement their understanding of complex concepts... The glossary is a strength and provides a good overview, and the 'movement-per-page' overviews are a useful memory aid for candidates.
