Welcome to the Symphony

by Carolyn Sloan Author, James Williamson Illustrator

From the back cover: Discover what a symphony is. Who Beethoven was. What happens when a conductor takes the podium and faces the orchestra. And when you should and shouldn't clap. Here is a unique, interactive introduction to the world of classical music, presenting one of the most famous symphonies ever written, by one of the most famous composers who ever lived. With its 19- button sound panel, you'll hear the different parts and voices of the music-the beginning of Symphony No. 5, the melody, the harmony, the sounds made by a violin, a viola, a cello, a double bass, and more. And, of course, the famous da-da-da-daah! You can even sing along.
