It's
a fine spring day in Vienna, but Mozart can't think of a tune. The
whole city is filled with musical possibilities – Mozart's
pet starling sings a melody, the baker rumbles a bass part, carriage
wheels and church bells inspire Mozart to write a wonderful piano
concerto. Illustrations are a delight. (Picture book)
