Roll On, Beethoven!
by Barbara Barkovich

In this month's Community Library Notes, MCL member Barbara Barkovich shares her thoughts about the Mendocino Music Festival’s featured composer this year, Ludwig van Beethoven, who is known to nearly everyone in the world and a huge influence on Western classical music. The festival, which runs from July 11th to 25th, is celebrating its 40th year with a recognition of Beethoven’s enduring importance and his irresistible melodies. For anyone who wants to bone up on the immortal composer, the library has a selection of materials for children and adults. To read her insightful article click the button below.
