Title: . . . a disappointment
Review: I was expecting a book full of colorful anecdotes about piano tuning for the great artists of the past. (As a piano technician myself, I was looking forward to these.) While there are a few such stories, this book is mostly filled with the author's testament about how his life has been fulfilled by his faith in Jesus Christ. He travelled the world with Horowitz, and instead of sightseeing and telling us of his adventures he tells us of spending time in great cities sitting in his hotel room, reading his bible. Most of his anecdotes relate to trying to get the great pianists to pray with him, or to take a bible from him. The writing is stilted and drab, except for the flowery prose of his co-writer, when she writes her little tid-bits. Anyone want my copy before it goes to the trash heap?
