Books by Leon Fleisher

Leon Fleisher and Anne Midgette, My Nine Lives: A Memoir of Many Careers in Music .  Classical music is a wonderful area to read books in, much like World War II.  Most of the books are written by very smart people, such as Fleisher, a top pianist in his time (try Fleisher-Szell for the Beethoven piano concerti).  And they are written for very smart people.  You can always, with profit, just keep on reading books about classical music.
