Play it Again: An an Amateur Against the Impossible |
Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, started piano again in middle age; then on a course for amateurs he heard a fellow student play Chopin's first Ballade and challenged himself to learn this very difficult piece and perform it within a year. The book is the story of his battle with the Ballade interspersed with fascinating accounts of what was going on in his day job, such as Wikileaks and the phone hacking story.
