Paperback. Condizione: Good. This book answers questions from real classical music lovers about things they have always wondered but didn't know whom to ask.

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.
