Simon Silber: Works For Solo Piano - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

A wickedly funny commentary on art, genius, jealousy and failure.

Norm Fayrewether knew the composer Simon Silber for little more than a year, but it was long enough to get to hate him. Destitute and down-and-out, Fayrewether was uniquely placed to document Silber's unrecognizable "genius" - Silber paid him money to write his biography - and threw himself into the task like a man dispossessed.

This is Fayrewether's life of Silber as told through liner notes accompanying a selection of theman's music. This extraordinary oeuvre - including a daylong piano sonata and an etude composed on a telephone keypad - is the key to Silber's life. It is also Fayrewether's revenge on the man who tormented him . . .
