Over two centuries of music history and dozens of musical genres unfold through an exciting collection of letters! Meet "Letters That Changed History," the best-selling series presented to the Greek reading audience by Archive Publications. A series that honors and celebrates a beloved habit of ours, letter writing.

Letters from remarkable figures in history are thematically curated and presented under the editorship of Shaun Usher, the creator of the series. In this book, you will find letters related to music, from senders who have marked its history, such as Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Keith Richards, Richard Strauss, and many others.

Ludwig van Beethoven shares the secrets of his art with a little girl who loves his music. Keith Richards writes to his aunt about meeting an old schoolmate who loves the blues and is named Mick Jagger. Giuseppe Verdi empathizes with a disgruntled audience member from the premiere of Aïda, who demands a refund, while reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry lends his support to Paul McCartney when the latter is arrested for marijuana possession, in a delightful collection of letters that explore the full range and facets of emotions that only music can provide.

"A letter can hold the power to offer, if only for a few minutes, the necessary distraction from the scenes of carnage and despair that men and women at war constantly face, and to lift their spirits at a time when morale is critical for survival." - Shaun Usher
