Interest in classical music?

I truly enjoy classical music, especially the pieces that are full of violin and cello. But, I want to learn about the terminology and increase my knowledge of classical music. Where can I go on the internet, or through reading that will enhance my joy of this great music?

There is no need to purchase a book to understand music terminology. Here is a good list that will serve your purpose:

The author David Ewen wrote numerous books that explain various genres of classical music as well as books that give detailed information about specific orchestral and operatic literature. Amazon has organized these for you. Shopping there will give you a definite price break on the books. Take a look for yourself here:

Hmm...I think the best way to learn about classical music is to play it. I've learned a lot of the terminology by playing violin the an orchestra. But, I guess you can just google classical music terms and read through that.
