Seller's Description:
Good in Good dust jacket. 0802853188. This book is in good condition; ex-library with usual stamps and tags. The book has some shelfwear. Inside pages are clean.
I just read a delightful children�s book about composer Vivaldi. My children played some of his piano compositions as they advanced in their piano studies. I love this book and I found some of Vivaldi's music YouTube.
The story is well written and tells of young Vivaldi's physical limitations that prevented his ability to run and play like other boys. It also told of the influence his father's musical career had on young Vivaldi.
Growing up in a musical family, Vivaldi's love for music, its composition and performance, and above all, its absorption into Vivaldi's life was shown throughout the book. His mother's insistence on his studying to be a priest, and how even though he complied, his music still became his primary focus.
I totally enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
