Included are Richard Wagner, Paganini, Frederic Chopin, Robert Schumann, Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelsohn, Franz Liszt, Ludwig van Beethoven, George Handel, Giuseppe Verdi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Johannes Brahms. (Summary by Lucy Perry and Availle.)

Reseñas

INSIPID, AMATEUR WRITING,


(1 stars)

I listened only to the chapters on Mozart, This begins with a long, imagined humorous, monologue about how the author of this work had his manuscript thrown out by the Pullman Porter on a train ride.. It is a good 10 minutes before we hear the name "Mozart". From this point it becomes worse. Yes it is OBVIOUS this writer lost his manuscript as the work meanders and reveal the author's personal anecdotes of no matter. SHAMEFUL.
