Any musician will enjoy this book, since Laila Storch did such a great job of integrating her experiences with him and making the story so interesting. What a golden age that must have been for musicians!

As a student at Curtis I heard much about his wonderful playing and his numbered phrasing system. Everyone spoke of him with such reverence and affection. I will definitely get the book! Incidentally, the bit in the review about Tabuteau making his students get his drycleaning and groceries made me laugh. I remember hearing about an incident that occurred before my time at Curtis when Roger Scott invited his students to his house and when they got there they discovered they were expected to paint his porch! Thank you bringing this new book to my attention - It was great to read about Laila Storch’s book on Tabuteau.
