This picture book for all the family tells us about the most relevant events in Joseph Haydn’s life. Haydn is, together with Mozart and Beethoven, when of the most famous figures of the so called Classic Vienna. He was admired by W.A. Mozart and he taught Beethoven. Among his pieces of music we can find “Surprise Symphony” and “Lied the Emperor”, whose tune is now the German anthem.
Like the rest of the books from this series, it contains a CD with a selection of Joseph Hayden’s pieces of music.
Nos sentimos profundamente desolados ante la noticia del fallecimiento de Jutta Bauer, que falleció inesperadamente el 10 de septiembre. Con su muerte, no solo perdemos a una gran autora e ilustradora, perdemos a una amiga.
