520    Stephen Hough is indisputably one of the world's leading 
       pianists, winning global acclaim and numerous awards, both
       for his concerts and recordings. He is also a writer, 
       composer and painter. As an international performer he 
       spends much of his life at airports, on planes, and in 
       hotel rooms and this book expands notes he has made, in 
       his words, 'during that dead time on the road'. He writes 
       about music and the life of a musician, from exploring the
       broader aspects of what it is to walk out on to a stage or
       to make a recording, to specialist tips from deep inside 
       the practice room: how to trill, how to pedal, how to 
       practise. He also writes vividly about people he's known, 
       places he's travelled to, books he's read, paintings he's 
       seen; and touches on more controversial subjects, such as 
       assisted suicide and abortion. Even religion is there, the
       possibility of the existence of God, problems with some 
       biblical texts and the challenge involved in being a gay 
       Catholic. An illuminating and absorbing introduction into 
       the life and mind of one of our great cultural figures.
