Charlottes musikalische Abenteuer

Charlotte, a little winged being, invites all children to spend a day full of music with her. Every hour she meets another composer on the belfry and embarks on different adventures in which she also learns about musical genres (symphony, opera, ballet) or music theory terms (tempo indications, scales, intervals). In addition, the book contains anecdotes and quotations of the musicians as well as interesting music riddles waiting to be solved.For a whole day, the young readers are accompanied by fun-loving Charlotte who is elated by old and new music. Who is Charlotte going to meet in the morning - and who in the evening? Walther von der Vogelweide, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Claude Debussy, or even Charles Ives? - This richly illustrated book provides portraits of 15 composers, from the Middle Ages to the present.Awarded the Deutscher Musikeditionspreis 2008.
