The Story of Peter Tchaikovsky (Opal Wheeler)
$12.95Little Peter was born in the small mining town of Votkinsk, Russia, not far from the border of Asia. His father was a mine inspector. Miss Wheeler has shown sympathetically yet quite frankly what a nervous, unpredictable child Peter was and how his love for music, even as a very little boy, was almost greater than he could bear.
Any sort of routine or application to work was impossible for him, and as a result, when a young man he could not bring himself to practice law. However, music still beckoned, and under the great Anton Rubinstein, he made certain progress. Here again, though, he broke all the established rules for composing and drove his master to despair. It was early one morning, seated at a table in the deserted dining room of an inn, that he wrote the first draft of his first symphony.
Here is a fascinating picture of Tchaikovsky the brilliant composer and delightful companion. It is perfect for young readers.

Paganini: Master of Strings (Opal Wheeler)
$12.95Written with warmth and understanding, the present book on Paganini begins with his unhappy childhood along the wharves in Genoa and carries him straight through the tempestuous years when great genius and poverty waged an endless battle, which genius finally won. The boy gave his first concert at eleven, and his success was immediate and brilliant.
The later years, however, were given over almost entirely to composing. His compositions were so exquisite and intricate that they became the despair of other musicians, as often only the master was able to play them.
Added to a delightful story are some of Paganini’s simpler compositions for the young music student to try. It is altogether a perfect biography for the younger group, full of action and exciting adventure, too.

Adventures of Richard Wagner (Opal Wheeler)
$12.95At the age of four, Wilhelm Richard Wagner made his first impression on the theatrical world when he pounded on a bass drum and stopped the performance at the Dresden Playhouse-right in the midst of his stepfather’s lines. This ill-fated incident put a temporary stop to Richard’s nights backstage, and the punishment was almost more than exuberant little “Dicker” could bear. No more trunks to explore, no more wigs to try on, no more lights and music and dancing. He had so loved being a part of his adored stepfather’s professional life.
But there were golden and impressionable years ahead for young Richard. He came under the haunting spell of Weber’s opera, Der Freischutz, and copied the entire score on his own music sheets to memorize. He avidly read Shakespeare’s plays and vowed he would write even greater tragedies. He staged puppet shows, wrote poetry, and dreamed fantastic dreams.
