Alone at Center Stage Kindle Edition

Book One in the Again a Musician saga#1 - Alone at Center Stage#2 - Music from the Silent Mind#3 - Titans of MusicHere was a total enigma: a slight nine-year-old boy, an entity typically associated with the artifacts of childish immaturity, displaying a greater depth of instinctive interpretive intelligence than any musical performer Peter had ever encountered. And the gorgeous quality of the sound. Peter had never heard such beauty of form and tone come from the hands of any human being. He knew beyond any doubt that what he was hearing could not be taught, nor could it be learned, by anyone of any age.

Peter secretly resolved to have a tape recorder running every time Jason came near a piano. Historians would thank him.Alone at Center Stage, the opening novel in the Again a Musician saga, is the story of the child in child prodigy.
