Bravo Bravissimo! La musica di Mozart il fanciullo geniale

Bravo Bravissimo! The Music of Mozart, the Child Prodigy
A story about the time when the prodigious boy with absolute pitch, after hearing the Requiem just once, managed to reproduce its mysterious score—until then kept hidden by the Vatican—but not only that. Musical language and its secrets are explained to young readers through the works and life of Mozart, the brilliant child: how melody supports key moments in a story and portrays its characters, their dramas, and their emotions. And also how rhythm, note duration, and the choice of musical instruments determine the tone of a scene (or an entire opera), making it dramatic, joyful, or even comic.
Music is not just an accompaniment—it is the very essence of opera. This book will bring young readers (and not only them) closer to listening and to musical culture, authored by one of the most beloved and popular Italian orchestra conductors. Reading age: from 10 years.
