Summary:
The works of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, and others are introduced to children through the magical beings from legends and classic tales-- including gnomes, fairies, witches, goblins, elves, and wizards-- that inspired the composers. An original way for younger listeners to discover classical music, this book pairs three centuries of music history with evocative illustrations and includes a glossary of musical terms, a short biography of each composer, a timeline, and a brief presentation of each extraordinary character.
