Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Musical Curiosities, Oddities and Liszts [sic]' is a popular book written for lovers of music. It does not require an 'expertise' in musical knowledge. As the author states in the introduction- 'This is a book of total enjoyment. It is not meant to be read in one evening or even a week. It is full of information that will not make you rich, get you a promotion, or even make you smarter. But I do hope for some 'wows,' a chuckle, and a 'boy, that is interesting.''

It concentrates on music from the Baroque to contemporary performance artists. There are quizzes, a list of the full names of composers, classified lists of program music (insects and animals, celebrations, sports, transport and places, etc.), musical humor and satire, the firsts of everything in American music and performance, and a section on the shortest and longest of everything music. The book includes several anecdotes written and supplied by well known composers, accomplished performers, academicians, and music administrators. There is a section devoted to music written to be performed in the sky, in a swimming pool, around Arctic ice floes, and a café.
