Masterworks: A Musical Discovery (2nd Edition)

New edition of an integrated multimedia program designed to teach the core concepts of music appreciation.

The website and off-line CD-ROM include interactive listening charts, tutorials, composer biographies, self-paced and graded quizzes and listening exercises, interactive timelines, and about 600 graphics, music clips, and fine-art images.
