seashell: I love this book! I've been reading it day by day. Each day features a different musical piece, with some fascinating facts about its composer. I find the musical pieces on the internet, so that I can listen to them while I read. (Most of them are fairly short pieces.)
I've learned a lot, and heard many wonderful pieces that I would probably have never listened to otherwise. I am so grateful to the author for broadening my horizons in the world of classical music, and introducing me to so many musical wonders. Highly recommended!

Meredith: Once upon a time there was a girl who thought classical music was completely boring and pompous. As she grew, she began discovering interests in things she never thought she'd be interested in. Things like art, philosophy, and music ("but never classical music" she scoffed)!

One evening, a man invited her to the Utah symphony. While this sounded like the most monotonous new thing one could try, her date was super handsome and she agreed to attend. With whiskeys enjoyed and fancy date in arm, they listened as Beethoven's Fifth was played.

What a first date! Her interest was piqued and so began the self-induction process via Google. As it goes, months passed, confusion and frustration grew and all attempts to understand this dense, pretentious music seemed futile.

Enter Clemency Burton-Hill.

I've been reading this book for a few weeks and ADORE it!!! Clemency pulled me from the brink of bitter despair and makes listening, reading and learning about classical music FUN.

Not only did she save my personal musical journey, but that hunky symphony date is now my boyfriend and she has given us a way to SHARE...
