5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth Revealed, 3 Jun 2003
By A Customer
This little book will have an impact upon anyone even remotely connected with the bizarre world of the professional classical musician, upon which Alice McVeigh is eminently qualified to comment. Fellow pros like myself (yes, we really DO do this for a living!) will find it alarmingly accurate, unsuspecting aspirants to the business will positively wet themselves with apprehension,and the poor, bemused audience, who probably thought such Machiavellian machinations were the sole property of the Francis Urquharts of this world, will marvel at the intricate web of diplomacy, syncophancy and downright duplicity that goes into hanging on to that No. 5 cello job. Everyone connected with music should read this, whether for enlightenment, preparation, or confirmation of the painful truth. You've got to suffer for your art...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Book of Gems, 17 Jan 2003
I "dipped into" this book and found myself sitting down to read it most of the way through. Wonderfully perceptive and humourous observation of the music profession, with appropriate cartoons.
Entertaining reading for musicians and non-musicians alike.
