A compilation of letters or extracts from letters between composer-pianist John McCabe and eminent composers and performers from across the world, including also letters home from his various foreign tours. They range from the scholastically interesting to the frivolous and the emotionally moving. Correspondents include Britten, Barbirolli, Ursula Vaughan Williams, Previn, Beryl Bainbridge, David Bintley and Richard Rodney Bennett. The book is therefore interesting as a historical document, as an intimate disclosure of the thoughts of great artists and even as light-hearted bed-time reading.
