Scathing reviews, whimsical stories, and diverting games fill the pages of this utterly engaging kaleidoscope of skewed takes on the world of Classical music. Slonimsky's Book of Musical Anecdotes dishes out a marvelous feast of tales served up by a master storyteller whose reach extends around the world and to the beginnings of civilization. In these pages you'll learn about: a musical bicycle patented in 1896, and a musical bed built in the 1880s; the first flute players' union - founded in 300 B.C.; an orchestra made up of animals, and an opera performed by cats; how Schillinger composed a fugue based on the financial pages; and the legal battle between a trained seal and the ASCAP lawyers who would not allow him to perform on radio.
