"Ian Hampton gives us an intimate commonplace book linked to the rhythms of the musician's year. And what a delight it is - generous, open-hearted, wise and wry, filled with a life-enhancing tender- ness for music's elevation of the soul' and studded with a lifetime's memories and reflections. . . plus a healthy leavening of playful doggerel, clever caricatures and delightfully groan-worthy puns. Like all fine distillations, it should be sipped and savoured in leisurely fashion, to the accompaniment of - a stroke of genius from an instinctive teacher, this - the endlessly fascinating pre-curated musical playlist that accompanies the text." - Max Wyman, O.C., author of The Compassionate Imagination: How the Arts Are Central to a Functioning Democracy
