    About this ebook

    With a one-way ticket, his studies behind him and the knowledge amassed, Devlin Doyle travels to Vienna to deepen his commitment to the piano. This story follows the events of his stay where practice and preparation play an integral part in a dramatic arc that ends with Devlin dying a figurative death which will leave you wondering what could possibly come next. You will finally experience how Devlin, upon his resurrection, discovers the greater significance of the piano method sketch left by Chopin and how it reveals to him the true nature of music and virtuosity.
