Critics Review

“As with all of Peter Schickele’s musical musings, this is superb humor reflecting a boundless knowledge of the world of music.”
– Victor Borge
An “eminently readable and vastly enjoyable book.”
– Isaac Stern
“But how can I explain to outsiders the humor so delicate, the mirth evanescent, the je ne sais quoi of this handsome and hilarious book?”
– Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
