Bach, Beethoven and the Boys
Bach, Beethoven and the Boys has sold more than 170,000 copies since its introduction 35 years ago. The book chronicles the lives of the great (and not-so-great) composers as you’ve never read them before – exploring their sex lives, exposing their foibles and expanding on our understanding of these all-too-human creatures. Filled with interesting facts and trivia, this hilarious history covers music from Gregorian chant to the mess we’re in now. From Bach’s laundry lists to Beethoven’s bowel problems, David W. Barber tells tales out of school that ought to be put back there. (Think how much more fun it would be if they taught this stuff.) As always, Dave Donald has provided witty and clever cartoon illustrations to accompany the text.
