The History of Basque Music (The Basque)
A celebrated figure in myth, song, and story, the nightingale has captivated the imagination for millennia, its complex song evoking a prism of human emotions,-from melancholy to joy, from the fear of death to the immortality of art. But have you ever listened closely to a nightingale's song?

It is a...

Professor Anthon E. Darling, B.S., the creation of author David E. Walden, discusses his favourite instrument, the piano, in a book that is riotously revealing, rich and redolent in humour and offering a smidgen of intellectual stimulation. Darling is brutally fearlesss, with searingly honest titles like COULD WE PLEASE DISCUSS THE ROMANTICS WITHOUT MENTIONING S.E.X.? And who else but he would boldly face the piano music of the modern era with a title sure to create controversy, namely FONDLED,...
