Synopsis
The daughter of professional classical musician, Perri Knize returned to playing piano in middle-age after a 15-year hiatus, and her rediscovered love soon turned into an obsession with, first, finding a suitable piano, and, second and more importantly, tracking down the brilliant tuner who once gave the piano its beautiful sound. Filled with arcane information about the world of music and tuning, GRAND OBSESSION nevertheless is a wonderfully compelling book, plunging its reader into a rarefied world where people constantly strive, and fall far short of, perfection.
