Rob Kapilow, the acclaimed composer, conductor, and pianist, brings the magic he has delivered to audiences from Lincoln Center to Stanford right to your living room bookshelf - or, in a historic first, to your iPad! What Makes It Great focuses on short masterpieces by major composers to help the reader understand the essence of each composer's genius and how each piece transformed the musical language of its time. Kapilow's down-to-earth approach makes music history easy to grasp no matter what your musical background.
The sequel to his enormously successful All You Have To Do Is Listen (winner the PSP Award for Best Book in Music and the Performing Arts) is also the first book of its kind available for the iPad, with musical examples embedded directly into the text - or read the printed version while listening to the audio clips on a companion website.
In discussing Rob's writings, Jeremy Nicholas of Gramophone has said"I can't imagine a better pair of hands than Rob Kapilow's to guide (the reader) into what is still, for him and many others of his generation, a mysterious and daunting world." What Makes It Great: Short Masterpieces, Great Composers continues Rob's tradition of making classical music enjoyable and accessible to all!
