Music surrounds us. But how much do we know about those who create it?
LIVES OF THE MUSICIANS and What the Neighbors Thought by Kathleen Krull, illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt, answers questions we'd never think of asking. Did you know Johann Sebastian Bach was thrown in jail because he wanted to quit his job? Ludwig Von Beethoven's favorite food was mac and cheese. Clara Schumann's concerts were so well attended that police were needed for crowd control. That might sound like "today" but it happened in the 1840's!
With an appeal to all ages, this book could inspire your family to start its own musical tour.
Or not.
Kathleen Krull has written other "Lives of..." books. Enjoy!
