Great Composers Coloring Book

Text By Paul Negri, Illustrations by John Green, Dover

"Music appreciation and imagination go hand-in-hand in this singular collection of images spotlighting Vivaldi, Back, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Debussy, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Shostakovich, and other musical masters. Spanning three centuries of renown, the clothing styles and settings of each scene are meticulously rendered for historical accuracy. Captions [about one paragraph each] accompany each illustration, revealing fascinating details of the composers' lives and masterworks."

Thirty different composers are illustrated in the Great Composers Coloring Book. This is a good choice for a general study of famous composers. The descriptions in the Bellerophon coloring books are more detailed and each book focuses on specific time periods.
