Music Talks
"For twenty years, I've assigned these profiles to my students as a means of understanding themselves and their art. Epstein has a gift for making the sometimes remote world of classical music seem familiar without sacrificing its majesty and mystery."
-Jonathan Baldo, Eastman School of Music "I use her book as a model for my students in teaching them both the profile form and how to provoke subjects into revealing themselves on the page."
-Megan Marshall, Emerson College, Dept. of Writing, Literature and Publishing "An illuminating introduction to the trials and triumphs of the classical musician."
-New York Times Sunday Book Review "Informative, perceptive, lively and accurate."
-Gary Graffman, Curtis Institute
