Part of the Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers Series
By Mike Venezia / 32 pages / paperback
How do you bring a composer like Beethoven to life for young readers?
By combining factual information with:
-poignant anecdotes.
-full-color historical reproductions,
-photos (of his eyeglasses and metal ear trumpets), and
-funny cartoons (Apparently Beethoven had the flair of Liberace/Sir Elton John).
This is both an engaging, illustrated biography AND a mini-music appreciation lesson. The book begins with noting how Beethoven changed the sound of music (No more party music!). The author goes on to explain details of his 3rd, 5th and 6th Symphonies. This makes the book especially meaningful if the reader is able to listen to these masterpieces before, during or after reading. A great addition to a family library...
