Worth every cent. Stories of Symphonic Music: A Guide to the Meaning of Important Symphonies, Over is packed with useful ideas and the EPUB looks great.
I re-read chapter 3 twice. That alone made the $2.99 worth it. Star rating reflects the content, not the store.
Surprisingly good. Better than a lot of drama titles I've tried free elsewhere. Read on Kindle.
