Iconic Composers highlights the origin and contributions of some of the world’s most remarkable and gifted composers throughout history. Bold, whimsical illustrations by David Lee Csicsko along with concise, engaging bios celebrate a diverse group of composers, from all eras of history. Iconic Composers features historical giants of music like Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig von Beethoven alongside 20th-century composers such as Astor Piazzolla and Meredith Monk. Showcasing the true range of classical music history not typically acknowledged – exhibiting a wide number of genders, races, and nationalities – Iconic Composers celebrates 50 composers who have influenced the field of music and collectively broadened its scope.
