What you get from this "encyclopedic" work is the impression of complexity and seriousness. You get trees. What you do not get is the forest -- Big Picture. For example, very few composers were financially successful. They get their names in this book, but few of them ended comfortably -- the wonderful exceptions, of course, prove the rule: Rossini, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, Massenet, and even Brahms, Sibelius, Gluck and Handel. However, even the "greatest" were not much rewarded by their peers -- Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovski, Schubert, Berlioz.
The academic lexicography of George Grove provides authority, and that same aristocratic dimension of distortion, to the entries. ( )
