Publisher Description: This book explains - in vivid picturesque detail - why we still listen with admiration to the work of these men, and how their personalities and the era in which they lived affected their music. The accompanying online audio includes a sampling of their music from masterworks such as Appalachian Spring and The Unanswered Question to less common gems and includes guided listenings of exactly how the pieces work. |
