Book Reviews of Practicing: A Musician's Return to Music (Vintage)
Book Review: A "Must Read !" for Musicians or Otherwise
Summary: 5 Stars
At one time or another, all of us - musicians or not - have struggled after something we desired and loved only to have it slip away.
Kurtz's book is about that loss but goes one brave step further in the return to his original love of music, inspired the simple, reflective act of "Practicing."
"Practicing..." spans a realistic (and true) journey from Boston to Vienna - and back - in an insightful, personal memoir that will speak to anyone who knows what it's like to "come home."
A brilliant writer and a brilliant book with insights that few of us have the courage to consider.
