I figure this is as good as any group to ask ... I'm looking for a concise but complete book that details the history of classical music. I'm not really interested in a guide to recordings or one man's opinions of various works, but rather a chronological history of the development of the music, from the "early music" up well into the 20th century. Again, I'm not interested in a critique or an agenda, but a history and chronology.

This reminds me...there is ONE never-compiled discographic work which I could SERIOUSLY use! This is (sort of) a classical-record equivalent to ADBD...in which one could find discographic details on the many classical-music recordings issued on 78rpm phonorecords from 1890 to "whenever" (compiler's choice"...?!
