Features: This is one of the most entertaining and enlightening autobiographies of a musician in the past decade. The memoir, written through interviews and compiled by others, is not as logically structured as a scholarly work, yet it feels warm and sincere throughout. In this book, Stern shares his life and artistic experiences with us, including how his fame grew, his feelings about music and the violin, his passionate life, his great friendships and collaborations with remarkable figures like Leonard Bernstein and Pablo Casals; as well as his ideals and beliefs about art, life, love, and the world we live in.
