Description
This book is written in the same vein as Meet the Great Composers, only intended for younger students. It consists of 12 units and 13 composers: Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Chopin, Foster, Dvorak, Sousa, Macdowell, Debussy and Rachmaninoff. Each unit begins with a brief biography of the composer. Following is a longer "story" from the composer's life. After this is a short section highlighting important compositions and a reference to a track on the accompanying CD so you can listen to one of them. These are different selections than those in Meet the Great Composers. As with that volume, a review activity concludes the unit. Again, there is no overlap and the exercises are designed for a slightly younger student. This is important, since the authors suggest continuing study with the Meet the Great Composers series.
