PRAISE FOR BEETHOVEN'S WIG

- New York Times
"The songs are funny... The lyrics are hummable mnemonics, each imparting information about the work or the composer."
- Washington Post
"An irreverent, witty approach to music appreciation... a laugh out loud that pretty much guarantees listeners will forevermore recognize the classics."
