This book answers questions from real classical music lovers about
things they have always wondered but didn't know whom to ask. The
information in this book is not readily found in music history or
appreciation books, nor can it be found on line. Questions explored
are: Do string players in orchestras get paid more because they
play more than other instruments? Why does an orchestra tune to an
oboe when there are electronic tuners? How does a composer decide
what key to compose in? Why is the 1812 Overture played on the 4th
of July? And many, many more! The answers represent behind the
scenes, real world, insights into how classical musicians view and
discuss these questions. There is even some insight into the jokes
classical musicians find funny. This book is intended for the
person who loves listening to classical music, either live or
recorded and will provide hours of enjoyment as the reader
invariably shakes his or her head and asks in wonderment "Who
knew!"
