The book pretends to bring to each home this fairy tail and make every parent, brother, grandfather, uncle or cousin, the narrator of the wonders and events around the mistery of the disappearence of a simphony. It creates a bright moment of familiar investigation and brings the joy of solving a riddle in cooperation, with the help of a musical glossary.
