Xaver Scharwenka: Sounds From My Life: Reminiscences of a Musician Book

The five stars given were not for the writing style, which often descended into hyperbole, but for the magical opportunity to read one outstanding musician interpreting the life and work of another musician who was also his close friend - and that both are my top favourite musical classicists! I can't say how excited I was when I discovered this book existed. If I could go back in time for anything it would be to hear these two play. It's a little short for the geocaching challenge but I decided you couldn't get much purer an evocation of 'a book in which a famous composer is a main figure'.
