{"product_id":"ten-masterpieces-of-music","title":"Ten Masterpieces of Music","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this magisterial volume, Harvey Sachs, author of the highly acclaimed biography Toscanini, takes readers into the heart of ten great works of classical music--works that have endured because they were created by composers who had a genius for drawing music out of their deepest wellsprings. These masters--Mozart and Beethoven; Schubert, Schumann, Berlioz, Verdi, and Brahms; Sibelius, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky--communicated their life experiences through music, and through music they universalized the intimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy expanding our perceptions of these ten pieces--composed in the years between 1784 and 1966--Sachs, in lush, exquisite prose, invites us to consider why music stimulates, disturbs, exalts, and consoles us. He has lived with these masterpieces for a lifetime, and his descriptions of them and the dramatic lives of the composers who wrote them bring a heightened dimension to the musical perceptions of readers who may be casual listeners, students, professional musicians, or anyone in between.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvey Sachs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41948775416035,"sku":"9781631495182","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/3906\/6759\/products\/9781631495182-us.jpg?v=1635352382","url":"https:\/\/littleprofessorbookshop.com\/products\/ten-masterpieces-of-music","provider":"Little Professor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
