Animals in Music
Product Details
Description
Again and again composers have been inspired by the animal world and have represented the nature of the most diverse animals in music - be it locomotion, such as the flight of a butterfly or the wriggling of a trout, or the imagery of an animal character. For this thematic volume with a classic-romantic focus, Wolfgang Birtel made arrangements for violin and piano and brought together original works.
