Here is a fragile, once famous singer, turning his back on the one thing he loves; a music junky with little else to offer his friends but opinion; a songwriter who inadvertently breaks up a marriage; a jazz musician who thinks the answer to his career lies in changing his physical appearance; and a young cellist whose tutor has devised a remarkable way to foster his talent. For each, music is a central part of their lives and, in one way or another, delivers them to an epiphany. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41875182157899,"sku":"9780307455789","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/5645\/2427\/files\/imageloader_ee084ec3-68ed-44c5-a16a-631a093d11d4.jpg?v=1762333941","url":"https:\/\/xiabooks.org\/products\/nocturnes-five-stories-of-music-and-nightfall","provider":"XIA Books \u0026 Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
