1. What inspired you to write this book? Love
for nature and music.
2. What exactly is it about and who is it written
for? It tells the fairy tale ‘Peter and the Wolf’ translated by musical
instruments. The focus is on the comparison between the sound images of nature
and the artistic expression of composers who were inspired by nature and
sounds, who used music as a means of imitation. This book would be for primary
schools, cartoons, films and the general public.
3. What do you hope readers will get out of
reading your book? Curiosity, interest and love for nature and music.
4. How did you decide on your book’s title and
cover design? It aims to highlight the educational importance of music
with a playful cover design to promote to the primary school audience.
5. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for
fellow writers – other than run!? Use your inspiration to give you joy
when writing your books.
6. What trends in the book world do you see —
and where do you think the book publishing industry is heading? Scenarios
that disrupt the psychophysical training of children and the publishing
industry is going in this direction.
7. Were there experiences in your personal life
or career that came in handy when writing this book? Teaching
experience, study and contact with nature and love of music.
8. How would you describe your writing style?
Which writers or books is your writing similar to? Concise style
resembling that of the Latin poets.
9. What challenges did you overcome in the
writing of this book? I found difficulties finding the appropriate
animations to match the musical harmonies within the book.
10. If people can buy or read one book this week
or month, why should it be yours? It is difficult for young readers to
understand an instrumental musical text or how a composer can translate a
sonorous image of nature that inspired him through music. I recommend buying my
book because it is simple, innovative and is structured in a dialogue between
the grandfather and his young nephew.
