Musical selection and explanatory texts Ana Gerhard Illustrations Claudia Legnazzi

Gnomes, fairies, witches, elves… These fantastic creatures have always stimulated the imagination of children. In this compilation, works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Verdi and other composers inspired by ancient legends and superstitions introduce classical music to children. Wonderfully illustrated, the book also contains a glossary of musical terms and a short biography of the composers. A string of fabulous characters to discover differently!

20 excerpts from recordings of pieces performed by internationally renowned orchestras, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Teatro de la Scala Orchestra in Milan and the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

The introductory texts, the listening guide, the biographies of the composers are always well done and are admirably served by amusing illustrations. THE DUTY
