Book of the Month

Why Beethoven Threw the Stew

Why Beethoven Threw the Stew (by Steven Isserlis)

KBAQ's Randy Kinkel recommends "Why Beethoven Threw the Stew". A funny and factual guide to the lives, quirks and foibles of six of the great composers of classical music, written by Master Cellist Steven Isserlis. Written for kids, but in a way that adults can also enjoy and learn from, it's the KBAQ book of the month for June. Great for reading aloud!
