Classical music isn't generally thought of as edge-of-your-seat exciting, and Rhodes is out to change that. He introduces readers to the rebels and revolutionaries behind classical masterpieces, and reveals why they're responsible for nearly every track on your phone today. Each chapter examines the composers' life and influence, then names pieces to listen to, with explanations of what to look for in the music, and why it is important. -- adapted from jacket, and perusal of book
