Presto Music Awards 2021

10th December 2021 | Books, Reviews | 1 comment

Today I learned that my book The Piano – a History in 100 Pieces has been named as a Book of the Year 2021 in the Presto Music Awards.

I feel very fortunate that it has now been chosen as a Book of the Year in The Spectator, the Financial Times and the Presto Music Awards as well as being a ‘Notable book of 2021’ for the Seminary Co-op Bookstore in Chicago.

As our outer circumstances are rather fragile at the moment, and concert life is still severely affected by them, these little milestones mean even more than usual and I do value these ‘notes of appreciation’.
