Welcome to this ramble through music: background notes unfold, little by little, amazingly and touchingly. Our guide is the young Jacopo Caneva, who puts forward a personal selection of musical extracts for a first listening experience, analysing them with the passion and competence of a teenager who loves and practises music. This is where authors meet, with different styles and historical backgrounds, sharing the will to be revolutionary and ahead of their time. A journey that winds from Mussorgsky to Berlioz, from Debussy to Handel, Danny Elfman and Joe Hisaishi, some of the most beloved composers of two great film directors of our time, Tim Burton and Hayao Miyazaki. 10 Pieces of Music You Should Listen to at Least Once in Your Life is a book you will take with you as an essay on music. Enjoy the read and the listen.
