Book Descriptions
for A Little Schubert by M.B. Goffstein
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
"Franz Schubert heard music / when his friends heard nothing, / and Franz Schubert heard music / that no one had ever heard before." Black and white 3½" x 2¾" drawings are framed by generous white space and captioned with a brief lyrical text about the essence of the Viennese composer. Simplified arrangements for six of Schubert's "Noble Waltzes" have been added to the new edition. (Age 5 and older)
