Features: There is a famous saying: "The north of a portrait has anecdotes." When you gaze at the alluring beauty or the smiling enigmatic man in the painting, you will feel something stirring behind these figures. The birth of a masterpiece is the same. There are works created at the peak of happiness in life, as well as those composed in the depths of poverty, lying ill in bed, and on the brink of death. This shows that the birth of a masterpiece is always accompanied by dramatic circumstances. This book focuses on such stories, rather than the tedious, stereotypical "explanation of masterpieces." It narrates the process of the birth of masterpieces, the anecdotes surrounding them, and their musical characteristics, so I hope it is a light and enjoyable book to read. When you listen to music, you will find it more enchanting when you compare it with the knowledge you gain from this book. If reading this book gives you a rough understanding of the masterpieces, the author will consider it a great honor. The tracks in the book are not strictly arranged; you can read them at your leisure. When you develop an interest in a particular piece, I hope you will further appreciate it. That music will then merge into your blood and nourish your heart.
