A Devil to Play: One Man's Year-Long Quest to Master the Orchestra's Most Difficult Instrument

By (author) Jasper Rees





This book is currently unavailable. Enquire to check if we can source a used copy


| book description |

A charming and deeply funny memoir of musical obsession, A Devil to Play is the story of Jasper Rees, a man who unearths his childhood French horn, and begins a quixotic but obsessively serious challenge: to play a Mozart concerto--alone--for a paying audience within one year's time. It's an endearing, inspiring tale of perseverance and achievement, relayed masterfully, one side-splittingly off-key note at a time.
