About this title

Synopsis

We've all heard sad tales of impoverished composers Mozart's final resting place a pauper's grave, Beethoven arrested as a tramp, so shabby were his clothes. But is it all true Vivaldi ended up destitute but allegedly earned and squandered around 1.6 million. True or false So who were the cash kings And which composers were fiscal failures Based on Classic FM's highly successful Composers' Notes radio series, this book gives you the ins and outs of composers cashflow. And then puts them head-to-head in a ""rich list"" of history's greatest composers.
