How to listen to music

Why love complex music? How does an experienced listener “read” the work? Why is it important to know different options for the performance of the same work? What is Theorba, Graund and Sonoric? Which Russian composer is a contemporary of Mozart? How not to confuse Verdi and Monverdi?
This book is a pilot in the ocean of academic music for schoolchildren and their parents. Briefly, honestly, cheerfully and systematically, it tells how to tune in to acquaintance with the classic, get rid of stupid stereotypes, call everything correct names and find your way in the centuries of Western and Russian music. The text is equipped with QR codes with dozens of audio illustrations that make a conversation about music understandable and turn reading into an interesting multimedia process
