{"product_id":"2940148190691","title":"The Timid Soul's Guide To Classical Music","description":"Classical music can make a strong impression on you even if you don't understand the techniques behind it. Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 has brought tears to the eyes of people who don't know the first thing about harmony and can't tell an oboe from a clarinet.\u003cbr\u003eBut the more you know about how classical music is put together, and the greater familiarity you develop with a particular composer's background and artistic environment, the more you understand it. That leads you into a deeper and deeper appreciation of something that at first you can only describe as \"pretty\" — or \"too long.\"\u003cbr\u003eThis book, drawn from articles published in The Arizona Daily Star in 1991 and 1992, can help you understand and appreciate classical music.","brand":"Arizona Daily Star","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072577552624,"sku":"2940148190691","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148190691_p0.jpg?v=1763705769","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148190691","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
