"Bach. Mozart. Beethoven. Old guys with curly wigs, right?" quips pianist James Rhodes. "But trust me: those composers were the original rock stars." In his exuberant, decidedly unstuffy introduction to seven such originals, Rhodes shows how these rebellious and revolutionary composers are behind so much of today's music. Inviting you to listen along online, he explains what each one was up to, as well as the language of music, the structure of an orchestra, and the evolutionary periods in classical music, all with dazzling pop art collages by Martin O'Neill.
