The author of Beyond the Notes demonstrates how a working musician
draws energy from the events of daily life, and sometimes seeks a
refuge from them in music. Out of Silence is a diary of a year in
Susan Tomes's life as a performer. Taking as its inspiration
Schumann's remark that 'I am affected by everything that goes on in
the world, and I think it all over in my own way', it aims to show
how a working musician mulls over and draws energy from the events
of everyday life. We follow this internationally renowned pianist
as she prepares for concerts and performs, both as a soloist and as
part of a chamber ensemble; we experience the highs and lows of
practising and the challenges of live performance, we see her
planning masterclasses and interacting with both musicians and
audiences. She casts her mind back to her childhood - practicing
before school on cold Edinburgh mornings, playing 'Danny Boy' for a
relative - and reflects on paintings, dance, books, sport and
gardening. 'A delight and a revelation...She writes with
Schubertian intimacy, modesty and grace,' said the Independent of
her first book, Beyond the Notes. Here Susan Tomes strives to
unlock the secrets of great music and to understand its place in
the wider world. SUSAN TOMES has won a number of awards for her
recordings of chamber music. For fifteen years she was the pianist
of Domus, and for another fifteen she has been the pianist of the
Florestan Trio, one of the world's leading piano trios. She is the
author of Beyond the Notes and A Musician's Alphabet. She writes
occasionally for the Guardian and on a blog on her own website,
www.susantomes.com.
