Madoka Hino, "Biography of a Musician: One Book to Read at the Beginning, Mendelssohn" - A recommended work to learn about the amazing life of the Jewish musical genius!
Madoka Hino's work "can be read by ages 10 and up and is a real inspiration for adults. It is written with the concept of "making the lives of the great musicians in history as easy to read as a story. This is easier said than done, but how difficult it must be!
This book, however, is a perfect example of this concept! I have devoured many biographies of great people from all ages and cultures, and Madoka Hino's biography is of outstanding quality. I have read many biographies of the greats, both old and new, and I can say that this biography of Mendelssohn is one of the best of them all.
This is a great book among great books that I highly recommend! I wish that this book will be spread more and more widely!
