Published: Vintage; 1st Printing Edition 2000 Subjects: Orchestra, Musicians, Romance, Fiction Approx. size: 8" by 5.25" -- 381 pages The plot concerns Michael, a professional violinist, who never forgot his love for Julia, a pianist he met as a student in Vienna. They meet again after a decade, and conduct a secret affair, though she is married and has one child. Their musical careers are affected by this affair and the knowledge that Julia is going deaf. A recurring element throughout the plot is the pair's performance of Beethoven's Piano Trio Opus 1 No.3, which they first perform in their college days. Paolo Isotta, one of Italy's most significant music critics, wrote in the influential newspaper Il Corriere della Sera of the Italian translation that no European writer had ever shown such a knowledge of European classical music, nor had any European novel before managed to convey the psychology, the technical abilities, even the human potentialities of those who practise music for a living. Paperback edition, first by Vintage. Mild scuffs around edges of covers and to the back. Spotless interior. Very nice. Excellent gift idea for the music, romantic or book lover.
