"Insightful and utterly readable...[thanks to] Ross's knowledge of classical music as well as his ear
for current mores and nuances. Each of the prot?g?s has some modern quirk that makes them very real...[The] characters are drawn subtly and with a light touch. It makes for a well-coordinated performance."
