Features: This book is written for all music lovers, tracing the history of Western music from the instrument of the human voice to the symphony orchestra. What is the connection between the works of great composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky and their life stories? What are the differences between suites and sonatas, concertos and romances? What instruments are in a symphony orchestra? How did the little conductor, Little Zezel, become the core of the orchestra with just a small baton?
Perhaps there are more questions, but in this encyclopedia of Western music, all answers will be found.
