Description

In Why Beethoven Threw the Stew, renowned cellist Steven Isserlis sets out to pass on to children an exquisite gift given to him by his own cello teacher – the chance to people his own world with the great composers by getting to know them as friends. Witty and informative on the same time, Isserlis introduces us to six of his favorite composers: the sublime genius Bach, the quicksilver Mozart, Beethoven with his gruff humor, the shy Schumann, the prickly Brahms and that bizarre split personality, Stravinsky. Isserlis brings the composers alive in an impossible to resist manner that may’t fail to be a magnet for any child whose ear has been caught by any of the music described, or any individual entering the world of classical music for the first time. The vigorous black and white line illustrations provide a great accompaniment to the text, and make this book attractive and accessible for children to enjoy on their very own or share with an adult.
