"A good introduction to both music history and creative writing." -- School Library Journal   "It's a laudable idea to enrich understanding of a composition so ubiquitous it's become synonymous with hold music, and Costanza's velvety pastel pictures, with their doll-like characterizations, dreamy settings, and palette of Venetian blues and greens, lends a fairy tale feel to the story."-- Publishers Weekly   "Altogether, a pleasing interpretation of the creative process and the power of art to connect individuals."-- Kirkus Reviews   "Radiant, softly textured illustrations, featuring rich jewel tones, dynamic scenes, and plenty of delightful Venetian flourishes, elevate this look at musical composition from the author-illustrator of Mozart Finds a Melody (2004)." -- Booklist.
