Practicing- A musician's return to music - Glenn Kurtz


A romantic ode to music and an auto-biographical tale of a classical guitarist. The focus of the book is on musical practice. Much insight is offered into the work of becoming an accomplished muscian. The author's literary skills are displayed in his frequent musings on music and meaning in life. The philosophical explorations climax in the last ten pages when he picks up his guitar again after ten years and examines practicing in relation to performing and life in general. A good read for those who love to listen and think about music.
