Book Overview

An engaging look at the inspiration behind Haydn's Farewell Symphony. In 1772, the blustery, bellowing Prince Nicholas of Esterhazy moves his life--and his musicians--to his summer estate and keeps them separated from their families for months. The royal music director, Joseph Haydn, appeals to the prince on their behalf. After being rebuffed by the prince, Haydn composes a symphony to show him how much the musicians miss home and family.

No CD included

The book was in great condition, but without the cd it is kind of useless.

Wonderful child intro to Haydn

I would read this to a class or child and then enjoy listening to the work. It's a very nice introduction to Haydn and the humor he used when composing. Wonderful book and it comes with a nice performance of several of Haydn's Symphonys.

The Farewell Symphony

I do collect children's books and take into consideration the illustrations as well as the story. I rate this book excellent, the story is True, based on documented evidence. A CD is also included of the complete "The Farewell Symphony'" and I replay it ad infinitum. Excellent investment in quality entertainment. The illustrations are delightful! Dorothy Hope
