Charlottes musikalische Kreuzfahrt

Some of the young readers may remember Charlotte – the little winged being with the golden listening horns! Some time ago, she embarked on exciting musical adventures in a belfry… And in this volume? Charlotte is in distress at sea! Fortunately, she is saved by a cruise ship – by Smutje, the ship's cook. But what a strange ship it is! The cabins are occupied by composers from various centuries… The fun-loving Charlotte is curious and meets 15 great musicians during their cruise. She learns a lot about musical genres (opera, oratorio, string quartet), about musical theory terms (notation, twelve-note music) or instruments (organ). And in the ship's logs, Charlotte finds funny anecdotes and quotes of the famous masters as well as fascinating music riddles…An entertaining cruise with Charlotte and 15 composers from the Middle Ages to the present day!
