Or a symphony, wondering who decided where on stage the orchestra members should sit, or why they tune their instruments to an oboe rather than an electronic tuner?

Did you ever leave an opera performance wondering why the singers use so much vibrato? Or a symphony, wondering who decided where on stage the orchestra members should sit, or why they tune their instruments to an oboe rather than an electronic tuner? Why is Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture played on the 4th of July? And how does a composer choose what key to compose in?In Who Knew?: Answers to Questions about Classical Music You Never Thought to Ask, master music educator Robert A. Cutietta provides lucid answers to these and more than 140 other questions submitted by listeners to his popular weekly radio program. Through its pages, this highly readable guide touches on some of the most curiosity-inducing aspects of the tradition, from why audiences refrain from applauding between movements to how opera singers warm up on the night of a big debut. The responses are drawn from conversations with professional musicians and music educators, with additional contributions by Gail Eichenthal of KUSC, giving a rare glimpse into how musicians think and talk about their work. Lovers of classical music who would like to flesh out their understanding are sure to find a powerful resource in Cutietta's down-to-earth guide, and even seasoned listeners are sure to learn a thing or two. This book will provide hours of enjoyment as readers invariably shake their heads and ask in wonderment, "Who knew "

Still going strong

My dogs chew apart EVERYTHING, but all six of these are still in great shape. They prefer and fight over the purple one though for unknown reasons. 🤣

Loud
Size: Small, Color: Assorted Color
I have mixed feelings about this product. I bought this because my puppy kept breaking the squeaker in his squeaker toys. I wanted something where is the squeaker was more durable. This was definitely more durable, it was also 10 times louder than the squeaker in his squeaker toys. He would squeak it all day and night and I could barely hear anything over it. If you asked my puppy to give the review, I’m sure he’d give it five stars and a glowing review, but for me, it was too loud of a squeaker.
