The most readable and comprehensive guide to enjoying over five hundred years of classical music -- from Gregorian chants, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Johannes Brahms, Igor Stravinsky, John Cage, and beyond.

The Vintage Guide to Classical Music is a lively -- and opinionated -- musical history and an insider's key to the personalities, epochs, and genres of the Western classical tradition. Among its features:
-- chronologically arranged essays on nearly 100 composers, from Guillaume de Machaut (ca. 1300-1377) to Aaron Copland (1900-1990), that combine biography with detailed analyses of the major works while assessing their role in the social, cultural, and political climate of their times;
-- informative sidebars that clarify broader topics such as melody, polyphony, atonality, and the impact of the early-music movement;
-- a glossary of musical terms, from a cappella to woodwinds;
-- a step-by-step guide to building a great classical music library.

Written with wit and a clarity that both musical experts and beginners can appreciate, The Vintage Guide to Classical Music is an invaluable source-book for music lovers everywhere.

Pair with HyperX Keyboard Rest to complete the look!
Size: Mouse, Pattern Name: Mouse
Soft, comfortable, doesn't slide around, even on my XL mouse pad. Cool to touch which is nice. After a year of use, fabric on top becomes slightly loose and bunches up when moving wrist around.

Well worth it
Size: Full Size, Pattern Name: Keyboard
Very comfortable and robust. This definitely looks and feels like a premium item. I had bought a few alternatives that were cheaper and they fell apart quickly. This one seems to have pretty resilient stitching and the fabric doesn’t bunch up which could cause a tear. The base has a non slip texture so it’s not going anywhere without some force. The cooling feel is a nice touch too.

Extremely Comfortable Wrist Rest
Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard, Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard
Hands down the best keyboard wrist rest! Fits perfectly with my HyperX Origins keyboard, almost like these products were made for each other! I really like the minimalist design of it and the quality does not suffer because of this. The memory foam is more comfortable than the memory foam on my bed, and the cooling gel stays cool no matter how long I'm using it. I have mine on a desk mat and it doesn't slip at all, it stays exactly where I need it which is great! Whether you're someone uses a computer for work all day or just a casual gamer, I highly recommend getting this wrist rest. It will change your life!

The best wrist rest I've used.
Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard
It has just the right balance of firmness and softness. The cooling gel does keep it cool. It is durable. Its rubber grip holds it firmly on my desktop. If I need another one, I will purchase this product.
