Delia reviewed The piano shop on the Left Bank by Thad Carhart
When I close my eyes I can visualise the triple string and hammer action.

Meandering and sweet, I didn’t realise until quite a way into it that it was based on reality, not a fictional world or a fictional Luc. I loved the chapters discussing the concept that music is not music unless shared; and the pressure and performance anxiety that can induce. Made me want to play again, which is a lovely thing.
