As he looks back to the first 48 years of life, Feliu Delargo reflects that his mother was right - he did make mistakes. It is for the reader to decide whether these were musical, moral or personal as they follow Feliu's fascinating life as a Spanish maestro. This satisfyingly large-scale novel introduces an all too human hero and avoids early 20th century cliches. Although a non-musician, I particularly enjoyed the technical descriptions.
