Symphony of Secrets
by Brendan Slocumb
Although not my favorite writer, I admire Slocumb for essentially creating his own genre and somehow making composing music and violins interesting to the broader community. I liked this better than The Violin Conspiracy. It is a propulsive read once you get through the first 50 or 100 pages, and I love how he incorporates race and identity in a world that is so starkly white. This is also a fascinating topic and an unfortunate part of our history: the many, many black voices that were lost or buried or appropriated. Josephine Reed very well could have been a real woman.
