They represent the many sounds sampled by the author when he recorded over 600 kinds of musical instruments. Like instruments coming together in a symphony, the stories combine to make an opus consisting of variations on a theme. While the stories begin in an upbeat fashion and work to a crescendo, they end with notes in a minor key filling the vacuum. \u003ci\u003eThe Library of Musical Instruments\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection to contemplate on more than one occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51373891616991,"sku":"9781628971514","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/gWGGBlqLJD9781628971514.webp?v=1789164544","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-library-of-musical-instruments-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
