The author/illustrator for the highly successful Getting to Know the World`s Greatest Artists series lends his creative talents to another fun, informative series, this one featuring world famous composers. Venezia`s clever mix of full-color photos, his own tongue-in-cheek cartoonlike illustrations, and factual biographical information presents each composer as they really were, along with the forces that inspired their world-renowned music. At four years old, Mozart learned to play the violin and when he was six, he wrote his first concerto.
