Features: The musicians interviewed in this book are all successful individuals, rare geniuses who have fulfilled their dreams and realized their aspirations. They are modern troubadours. Busoni said, "A pianist must possess extraordinary wisdom, cultivation, sense, passion, imagination, and poetic sensibility, as well as personal charm." The hardships of a pianist's career are beyond imagination; the private world of a pianist hides many untold joys and sorrows.
