review 1: Interesting. I had never heard of Maria-Teresia von Paradis before, but now I want to know more about her. This was a good introduction but it was lacking. I felt that it glossed over a lot of things. That could be because of the length of the story or it could be because of the style Ms. Halberstadt decided to use. In any case, I will be looking up more information about this virtuoso pianist who rivaled Mozart.
review 2: If you are looking for a good but short book, this one is perfect. The story summarizes the life of Maria-Theresa, a pianist who lost her site at the age of 3. For fifteen years, she was blind, and during that time, mastered the piano in nearly the same ways as Mozart. Her fathered forced upon her several doctors to try to cure her blindness ... morebefore she asked him to stop. The final doctor, whom she agrees to herself, is successful in helping, however it affects her ability to play. All the while, her emotional and physical trials are outlined for us in the story. It is a story of innocense, experiencing love, and determination. less
