Music to accompany the book

Michal and Danna draw inspiration from classical music; it gives them energy and determination they need in this story. If you are not familiar with the composers and their works mentioned in the book, you may enjoy playing the following two-minute clips from the period vinyls. All these are famous recordings which have been converted to a digital format and are now also available on CDs.
