Summary

A comic book character is born, the youngest of 16, into a war-torn country. Facing extreme brutality at school and on the streets, not to mention the oppression of the Catholic Church, he finds music. Armed with a violin and a burning passion, he escapes the madness and sets off to pursue his dreams.

“Get Beethoven!” is the inspirational story of Paul Cassidy’s life. Overcoming adversity in his younger years, Paul recounts tragedy, joy, horror and humor. Informative and entertaining, the audiobook charts his journey up to joining the Brodsky Quartet in 1982.

Voila Viola

Excellent on the music and the vicissitudes he experiences on the road to eventual success with the Brodsky Quartet... however marred by some clichéd reflections on philosophy and politics often delivered in a sneering tone of self righteous superiority....

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
