LETTERS FOR THE AGES THE GREAT MUSICIANS

A collection of letters written through the ages from musicians of all genres  from Mozart to
Freddie Mercury.  For tens of thousands of years  across various civilisations  our species has
been creating music. But what is behind the human fascination with music? This new volume in
the Letters for the Ages series explores that question through the personal correspondence of
history's most brilliant musical talent  ranging from Hildegaard of Bingen to Amy Winehouse. 
Spanning from the 12th to the 21st centuries  the letters assembled in this collection combine
to delve into musicians' personal relationship with music and the creative process behind their
greatest works of art. Witness your musical idols  warm-hearted and compassionate  arrogant and
angry  insecure and egocentric  defeated and morose.   The letters give a rare insight into the
innermost thoughts of these great musicians who have created some of the most recognisable and
beautiful music ever heard. But despite the mass of talent within these pages  these letters
also provide the realisation that even the most extraordinary music has been created by normal
people with normal worries and preoccupations.
