Good auto/biographies?
on: March 29, 2014, 12:05:08 PM
Just finished the Pablo Casals biography, 'Joys and Sorrows' told to Albert Kahn and what a book it is! Really loved reading it, and probably only the second biography I've ever read...

I guess I'm kind of on the look out to read some more biographies by great virtuosi or composers, so I figured I'd ask here for suggestions and recommendations :)

Thanks!

I enjoyed Alan Walker's Liszt biography, it's split into three books!

A long time ago, I read an autobiography named Guts. Seemed pretty good to me.
Per novitatem, artium est renascatur.

Finished with making music for quite a long time.
