A captivating story about the witty and clever composer Joseph Haydn. When Prince Nicolas does not permit his musicians to bring their families to his summer home, they despair. It is has been months since they have seen their wives and children. Joseph Haydn, his musical director, comes up with a creative, clever plan to convince the Prince to return home.
It was a delight to read this story aloud to my sons. The book includes a musical CD of the symphony Haydn composes in this story (
The Farewell Symphony- No. 45 F-sharp minor ) plus
Symphony No. 31 Hornsignal in D major).
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
