Have you ever stopped in the middle of the street when you heard an astonishing melody played by a street musician? Did you forget everything in that moment, simply enjoying the music for a few minutes and letting all your worries go? Music has an incredible power: it can give us peace or stir us up; a familiar tune can awaken long-forgotten memories; it can immerse you in a special atmosphere and introduce you to countless wonderful people. This book is by a true music connoisseur in all its forms—violinist and journalist Clemency Burton-Hill—who shares her favorite classical works for every occasion and for each day of the year. She is sure that classical music is in no way elitist and is accessible to everyone who wants to learn a little more about it. And this book is the best way to begin your acquaintance with it!
