The Symphony: From Mannheim to Mahler is a fascinating and accessible guide

the genre, it also includes a composer timeline, detailed case studies and
comprehensive music examples. This handy and informative book is ideal for
GCSE, A-Level, and undergraduate music students, as well as anyone wanting to
study and learn more about the genre.
