Product Description
Guardian, November 13, 2001
There's a delightful chumminess to the writing and the book is full of entertaining anecdotes...
Oxford Times, October 19, 2001
[It] is aimed at children, but adults with a sketchy knowledge of classical music could benefit from reading it.

Super,
By
This review is from: Why Beethoven Threw the Stew: And Lots More Stories from the Lives of Great Composers: And Lots More Stories About the Lives of Great Composers (Paperback)
I loved this book, and learnt a lot I didn't know about some great composers. We could argue about inclusions / exclusions forever - don't let's.Excellent gift for any child interested in classical music. The only lack I felt was of any accompanying CD - but you can remedy that easily at Amazon.co.uk, no doubt....

Presenting classical music and composers to children is always tricky - they tend to be associated with "stuffy" adults - but this book makes a pleasant change. You can read it together with younger children, and then listen to the music suggested in the book, and it means a whole lot more to them. I think most adults would enjoy this too!

Good for Adults too!,
This review is from: Why Beethoven Threw the Stew: And Lots More Stories from the Lives of Great Composers: And Lots More Stories About the Lives of Great Composers (Paperback)
This book brings to life the characters of the great composers, showing just how unique and interesting they were. A much-needed injection of humour into the world of classical music, that will hopefully challenge the notion that classical music is stuffy and for snobs only....a view held by adults as well as children!
