I'd like to know more about composers. I've been
meaning to read biographies of Tchaikovsky and
Verdi--something I read about them intrigued me--it
sounded as if they had interesting and perhaps
scandalous lives. And certainly the Beethoven movie
bio was interesting--and the Mozart one--and Wagner
appears to have been someone interesting.

My first bookshare job was validating an Aaron Copland
biography. His life was interesting but the book had
too much, for me, analysis and discussion of the music
that I didn't find so interesting.
