For hundreds of years, these musical masters have occasionally crossed paths with us, their names recorded in history, their portraits hanging high on the walls, and their music flowing everywhere in our lives. Do you know it? Are these familiar strangers geniuses or madmen? This book is light, easy to read, and a must-know, serving as the best shortcut to approach the hearts and works of classical music masters! This book selects 31 renowned and highly contributing musical masters in music history, covering the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, National, and Modern music schools, summarizing the most important musical masters in history. For each musician, we have carefully planned chapters on their fascinating life stories, love lives, major contributions, and musical compositions, accompanied by rare photographs, manuscripts, and chronicles. We hope that as readers get to know any musical master and appreciate their great contributions, they can also see the state of contemporary art and social development.
