{"product_id":"a-is-for-oboe-the-orchestras-alphabet","title":"A is for Oboe: The Orchestra's Alphabet","description":"This deeply imaginative and entertaining poetry collection details the pleasures of the orchestra, from strong-willed A to satisfied Z.\n\nTwo widely acclaimed poets--one a composer and classical pianist as well--have come together to create this extraordinary portrait of the orchestra in all of its richness and fascination, using the structure of the alphabet in a way that's entirely new and delightful. A is for the first note you hear as you take your seat in the concert hall, played by the headstrong oboe. B is for the bassoon, \"the orchestra's jester, complaining impatiently through his nose.\" And C is for the conductor, \"like the captain on the bridge of a great ship, navigating the composer's musical charts.\"\n\nOnward the text goes, soaring in reverie and making thought-provoking observations while not taking itself too seriously--illuminating all the various details that flow together to create the nourishing experience of playing or listening to music.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0525553770\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0525553770.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hoppe, Paul|Nelson, Marilyn|Auerbach, Lera\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
