recommend a book that can understand classical music

I've recently developed an interest in classical symphonies. I want a book about the contents and images of famous classical music chapters, so that I can understand some famous symphonies. There had to be an introduction of what was depicted as the song progressed. For example," The Vltava River " had an introduction that depicted two streams converging into the Vltava River.

If you answer well, you will get additional points.
