Two widely acclaimed poets--one a composer and classical pianist as well--have come together to create this extraordinary portrait of the orchestra in all of its richness and fascination, using the structure of the alphabet in a way that's entirely new and delightful. A is for the first note you hear as you take your seat in the concert hall, played by the headstrong oboe. B is for the bassoon, 'the orchestra's jester, complaining impatiently through his nose.' And C is for the conductor, 'like the captain on the bridge of a great ship, navigating the composer's musical charts.' Onward the text goes, soaring in reverie and making thought-provoking observations while not taking itself too seriously--illuminating all the various details that flow together to create the nourishing experience of playing or listening to music. * This audiobook contains a downloadable PDF detailing information about the musical excerpts included in the audiobook.
