reviewed The virtuosi on March 26, 2014 The virtuosi
The Virtuosi by Harold Schoenberg was an intriguing book about the classical music superstars of history. I found this book when I had asked my dad for an informational book, and seeing how the only informational books (or any books, for that matter) that we have in the house are either about therapy or music, I went with the music one. It turned out to be a very interesting and refreshing read. The author, Schonberg, has a very unique style that makes nonfiction not tedious. Before this book, there hasn't really ever been a book about all the famous classical musicians and why they were famous and remembered. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who needs a nonfiction.
