Not a great book, but very interesting if you knew part of Leon Fleisher's story and wanted to know more.

I knew who Fleisher was before this was released. I think I even have some of his recordings somewhere in my large music collection. What I didn't know was how he struggled with the pain in his hand that kept him from playing as much as he loved. I certainly appreciate his journey all the more now, as well as appreciating his gift of music to the world. The pain affected all aspects of his life. I enjoyed his tales of training and meeting and working with many great talents in the classical music world, many names I recognized all too well. His strength to find ways to work WITH the pain, with the disability, is admirable and makes me want to start playing again. His perseverance makes me want to get back into it, even if it leads nowhere.

A well written, welcoming book. He doesn't talk over anyone. Thank you, Leon Fleisher, for telling your story.
