{ "item_title" : "Symphony No. 2", "item_author" : [" David Cope "], "item_description" : "I completed the first draft of my second symphony in the summer of 1961. The work was inspired by a reconciliation (hence the subtitle) between two loves: science and the arts. I spent many years in my youth as an amateur astronomer (both visual and radio), studying mathematics, relativity, and quantum theory. But I also spent an equal number of years performing and composing music, painting, and writing poetry. As I wrote this work I decided my true love lay in combining these areas rather than treating them separately. My symphony then lay dormant for several years until I wrote a new version during the 1980s. The final version of the work heard here was again revised in 2004, some forty-two years from its original state, and now stands complete. As with all of my symphonies, Symphony No. 2 has five movements in a vaguely palindrome form.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/50/065/724/1500657247_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.00", "online_price" : "15.00", "our_price" : "15.00", "club_price" : "15.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
