У этого канала должно быть много зрителей. Особенно когда Сергей рассказывает о городе с любовью. И не только иностранцам, также чтобы тренировать английский на слух. Я, например много слов узнала здесь у него. Особенно когда ты далеко от Родины, смотреть на эту красоту и пользу получаешь вдобавок. 😊

The two books on display, "Practical Manual on Harmony" and "Principles of Orchestration" were textbooks he wrote on composition for his students at the Conservatory.
