Description

|
"Deeply felt and elegantly written—like a melody by Mozart: joyous and heartbreaking in a single exquisite line. [Australian concert pianist] Anna Goldsworthy has written a loving, generous homage, not only to music, but far more to the magical, inexhaustible arts of teaching and learning.... Goldsworthy conveys the process of development, from beginner to artist, with a light touch.... But at the heart of the story is always Mrs. Sivan, her teacher, speaking broken English, giving herself uncompromisingly to the belief that music is a way of living, of breathing, of acceptance. In her passionate, poignant portrait of Mrs. Sivan, Goldsworthy demonstrates how fully she has learned those lessons."—Glenn Kurtz
