This book hits the basic points you will need to know about post-Renaissance classical music. Don't expect to be able to carry your weight in dialoge with professors of music, but you should be able to get by amateurs. It's also a good source for pieces to build up your own CD repertoire. For those who are already knowledgable, it's a good "cliff note."
