Sir Yehudi Menuhin packs a lifetime of recollection, experience, and emotion into the telling of this tale of the violin, from its earliest days as a primitive stringed instrument to its unrivaled position today in popular, folk, classical, and jazz music. Studded with anecdotes about many equally legendary figures encountered in a lifetime of music-making, as well as personal musings on the role of music in everyday life, and on its power to heal and federate, this book will speak powerfully to music lovers and violin aficionados in particular.
