Good book:)

This book explains some rather obscure, and coloquial musical phrases that musicians take for granted, example: "Lollipops- short pieces of music of charm and grace that make no great demand on the listener. Term coined by Sir Thomas Beecham when he included them in his concerts or used them as encores." Read it!
