Books about music

[teamsaint]

Todd knows Mendelssohn in and out. His is e.g. an edition of the 3rd piano concerto which IMO is very convincing.
The book itself is -as the Cambridge Music Handbooks most of the time do - offering a rather technical approach of the works combined with readable back ground information. Often the compiled back ground is hard to find anywhere else.
It's a personal taste/ability to read music which defines whether it is a recommendable book.
I for myself think it is.

Many thanks for that Roehre.
From what you have said, and the bits i have read online, I think it will be ok for me, so I may well get a used copy and try to better myself !!
Cheers.

Would anybody recommend the Hurwitz book on the DSCH symphonies and concertos?

I wouldn't. I bought it. Read it on holiday. It's crap IMV. Save your money.
