Dmitri Esterhaats begins as a pianist's coming-of-age story, then progresses through increasingly sophisticated musical and emotional landscapes. Each chapter introduces the challenge of mastering new music from Bach to Bartok. The author's intimate knowledge of the cultural and anecdotal history of each piece is put to good use as Dmitri Esterhaats is inspired to conquer each style and form, each new work.
