They represent the many sounds sampled by the author when he recorded over 600 kinds of musical instruments. Like instruments coming together in a symphony, the stories combine to make an opus consisting of variations on a theme. While the stories begin in an upbeat fashion and work to a crescendo, they end with notes in a minor key filling the vacuum. \u003cem\u003eThe Library of Musical Instruments\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection to contemplate on more than one occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231478436184,"sku":"9781628971514","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781628971514_4da45cf8-c059-4a05-989b-fe0cd64c609c.jpg?v=1777177830","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/library-of-musical-instruments","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
