An illustrated biography focussing on the childhood of the great
musician as well as how he came to be a great composer. The
accompanying CD contains extracts of some of his most famous works
as well as the narration of the story. Mozart was already writing
music by the age of five, and when he was still very young, he
travelled all over Europe and played for the Emperor of Austria,
the King of France, and the Queen of England. Children who know
songs from different countries, or who have tried writing songs of
their own, wil find that they have much in common with Mozart.
The eagerly awaited follow-up to the best-selling Why Beethoven
Threw the Stew. What did Haydn's wife use for curling-paper for her
hair? What did Schubert do with his old spectacles case? Why was
Dvorak given a butcher's apron when he was a little boy? Why did
Tchaikovsky spit on a map of Europe? Why did Faure find a plate of
spinach on his face? And why did Handel waggle his wig? In Why
Beethoven Threw the Stew, renowned cellist Steven Isserlis set out
to pass on to children a wonderful gift given to him by his own
cello teacher - the chance to people his own world with the great
composers by getting to know them as friends. In his new book he
draws us irresistibly into the world of six more favourite
composers, bringing them alive in a manner that cannot fail to
catch the imagination of children encountering classical music for
the first time. Once again the text is packed with facts, dates and
anecdotes, interspersed with lively black-and-white line
illustrations, making this an attractive and accessible read for
children to enjoy on their own or share with an adult. 'If Why
Beethoven Threw the Stew does not turn your child into a music
lover, the chances are nothing will.' Daily Mail

David used to be in a band with his best friends Chance and Eli.
Now the band, Darkhearts, is super famous, with a legion of fans -
and David's out of the band and back in high school, brooding over
everything he lost out on. Then tragedy throws David and Chance
back together. Chance is everything David is not: a swaggeringly
drop-dead gorgeous rock god. And yet spending more time alone with
Chance, David has to admit he actually misses being with his old
friend - and maybe he feels something more. Can you mix music with
love?
