Józek Elsner
Little Józek Elsner disliked three things in his life: scratchy socks, overcooked dumplings, and his Aunt Maria's screeching voice. However, he loved one o'clock. That was the time he'd throw his leather schoolbag over his shoulder and run out of school. Now, you can listen to an audio story about Józef Elsner (1796-1854)—an excellent educator, composer, and music organizer who pioneered music education in Poland. Audiobook available under the link.
