Review:
Very highly recommended for both school and community library collections."
"For assignments, casual browsing, or required reading, these volumes neatly fill the bill."
"Lively and packed with fascinating detail, these biographies fill a gap. Both books outline the lives and times of the composers with a novelist's aptitude for pacing, detail, and economy. Each volume includes nicely rendered, full-color illustrations; a list of selected works; a useful chronology of the composer's life and historical timeline; and a fine glossary of musical and historical terms."
"These inviting biographies open with an attention-grabbing chapter that provides a glimpse of the composer's life. Interesting sidebars cover related topics. These solid, well-written texts place their subjects within historical time periods and explain important political and social events. Full-color reproductions of period artwork and bright borders in primary colors add to the appeal of these volumes."
