Listening to music is the most interesting thing in the world. You’ll be convinced by reading this book by music journalist and popular lecturer Lialya Kandaurova. Instead of a boring, dry listing of facts, you get a real concert subscription: the author tells the 600-year history of music in such a way that unfamiliar works become close, and familiar ones bring even more pleasure.
A distinctive feature of the audiobook is the musical inserts—so the listener can immediately hear the examples and fragments being discussed. Just as in ordinary books drawings and diagrams illustrate the text, in this audiobook, the music itself plays the role of illustrations.
