In this fascinating personal account of a rich life dedicated to music, Alba Rosa Viëtor's warm, humorous style vividly evokes the events of a life that spanned ninety years. We follow this resolute, passionate and quietly witty concert violinist and later composer on a life's journey that divides itself over three continents. From a nineteenth century Italian conservatoire to fin de siècle South America, from the glamour of Berlin, Paris and suffragette London on the eve of the First World War to the Great Depression years lived out in a New Jersey suburb. This is a story told on a human scale but set against the dramatic backdrop of the major events of the last century. Though a respected musician and composer, who enjoyed her fair share of fame on a modest scale, Alba Rosa Vietor will likely never be more than a footnote in musical history. But that is precisely what makes her story so fascinating. The story of a woman of exceptional musical talent, who lived her life to the full and gave all she had to her music and to her friends and family. It is a life at once ordinary and extraordinary. This is the story not of remote genius, but of someone who made the most of life and of the considerably talents she was given, and in many ways that makes it all the more inspiring.
