Synopsis
Paper edition reprint of a 1998 work in which violinist Steinhardt writes about life with the Guarneri String Quartet, fabled, in part for its longevity (35 years with its founding members). His account is lively and entertaining. He does acknowledge that the three other members might have their own versions of the tale; but of course, they should write their own books. Annotation c.

Through thoughtful reminiscences, Steinhardt adds a running narrative to the illustrious career of an ensemble that is arguably the most successful quartet performing today. . . .The book is peppered with anecdotes that will entertain quartet junkies as well as the uninitiated. -- Time Out New York
