Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage; a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44458352083081,"sku":"9780307455789","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/files\/imageloader_2fa8b529-81d5-4a6e-8506-608a905cc892.jpg?v=1780864408","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/nocturnes","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
