A is for the first note you hear as you take your seat in the concert hall, played by the headstrong oboe. B is for the bassoon, \"the orchestra's jester, complaining impatiently through his nose.\" And C is for the conductor, \"like the captain on the bridge of a great ship, navigating the composer's musical charts.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnward the text goes, soaring in reverie and making thought-provoking observations while not taking itself too seriously--illuminating all the various details that flow together to create the nourishing experience of playing or listening to music.","brand":"Lera Auerbach","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":39894062334014,"sku":"9780525553779","price":23.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":39894099820606,"sku":"","price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/1065\/3760\/products\/BNCImageAPI_92702391-2676-4682-9ee6-3615b81127f6.jpg?v=1664421315","url":"https:\/\/onceuponabookstore.ca\/products\/9780525553779","provider":"Once Upon a Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
