{"product_id":"65545-das-haus-der-musik","title":"The House of Music","description":"Ever since her grandfather moved into the \"House of Music,\" a retirement home for musicians, Tuesdays, when Renata visits him, have been anything but relaxing. Her grandfather has fallen in love with a soprano with hundreds of wigs, the double bassist regularly runs away, a stray cat tries to get adopted, and then there's this boy dressed as Batman who claims that music only sounds like noise to him...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo top it all off, her grandfather has sent her on a mission: Renata is to choose an instrument to become a musician, like everyone else in her family. But how do you choose between a piccolo and a tuba, between a synthesizer and drums, between a cello and a ukulele? And what if the solution was not to choose at all?\u003cbr\u003eRoom by room, we learn about the different instruments, their characteristics, and their history. Inspired by the true story of Casa Verdi in Milan, a refuge for destitute elderly musicians, for which composer Giuseppe Verdi laid the cornerstone in 1889, this charming book tells of the quirky characters who are all united by one thing: their great love of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMADDALENA VAGLIO TANET (*1985) is a poet, novelist, and children's book author.
