(Amadeus). Carol Montparker's 31 stories are remarkable for their
frankness and emotional honesty. Creative nonfiction from a life in
music, they are in turn tender and intense, lyrical and riotously
funny. There is a poignant friendship with the elderly,
irresistible Rudi; the anguish of a marriage that needed to end;
true love found later; a narrow escape from an outlandishly surreal
piano; moving tales from her teaching studio; each story with its
own satisfying shape and rhythm. "These autobiographical stories
sparkle with vignettes of people, places and petss, but their
deeper subject is that of the woman pianist in a male-dominated
worlld. The subject is not new, but Ms. Montparker brings to it a
rewarding freshnesss of insight." Jerome Lowenthal Pianist; and
faculty, The Juilliard School "Thee pianist's latest book deserves
to be read by anyone who plays or wishes to playy or ever wished to
play the piano, and by everyone else too. She writes about muusic
in a sane, wise, humane voice in this charming, instructive, often
moving coollection." Michael Kimmelman Chief Art Critic, The New
York Times; and pianiist
