Recenzii
"I really enjoyed reading this book. There are many wonderful anecdotes that give great insight into these composers and many of the events that shaped their lives and compositions. I highly recommend this book and wish its readers many enjoyable hours."—Edo de Waart
"Gilliland has done it again: This second installment of his wondrous compilation of anecdotes, both hilarious and richly informative, from the annals of music history. Musicians of all stripes–composers, conductors, divas, and divos, violinists, pianists, and bass trombonists–parade through the 366-pages (one for each day of the year, plus Leap Day) of this hefty tome. Some are so outrageously comical that you’ll be ricocheting with laughter for days to come; others are so fascinatingly strange that you’ll think the author made it all up. Hooray for humor and wit in music!”—Gunther Schuller

Extras
“The inattention of the Fritz Scheel players to Sousa’s conducting stirred up such rancor between the two groups of musicians that the Americans threatened fisticuffs if the slight continued. After polite applause greeted the Scheel orchestra’s performance of Mignon, Sousa’s band played an impeccable William Tell, and, during a thunderous ovation, Sousa did what he called ‘the meanest thing in my life.’”
