This is just the book I've been waiting for on Librivox! For several years I played the Piano and played several music scires of several of these musical greats! So to this day, I love classical music and every one of the composers. I enjoyed this book, especially about J.S. Bach. He is still my favorite because at my first Piano Recital, I played J.S. Bach music. Thank you Librivox and thank you to the readers for such a special book!
