520 "Growing up as an outdoorsy, nature-loving child in
Portland, Oregon, Robert Mann wanted to be a forest ranger,
but it was violin lessons--and his parents' encouragement-
-that ultimately launched him on a remarkable journey that
would span a lifetime and five continents as he pursued
his passion for classical music as a violinist, composer,
conductor, and teacher. In this fascinating and far-
ranging memoir, he looks back at the struggles and
triumphs of that journey, as well as the unique insights
and experiences he's gained along the way. From their
beginnings in 1947, the Juilliard String Quartet set out
to play new music as if it had been composed long ago, and
to play a classical piece as if it had just been written.
At first, the fledging combo struggled to compete with the
more established European string quartets, while also
coping with the inevitable difficulties of trying to blend
four singular personalities and talents into a harmonious
whole, but by the time Mann retired from the group some
fifty-one years later, the Juilliard String Quartet had
played close to six thousand concerts on every continent
except Africa and Antarctica and become an enduring,
beloved institution in American music. They won three
Grammys for their recordings, while sharing their
distinctive sound with such notable figures as Glenn Gould,
Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and even Albert
Einstein. A Passionate Journey is a collection of both
spoken and written words in the form of essays, letters,
lectures, and transcribed interviews from various times in
his life. Together they offer an engrossing glimpse into a
life filled with musical milestones and into the
fascinating mind of a musical giant"--Amazon.
