In this eloquent book, Daniel Barenboim draws on his profound and uniquely influential engagement with music to argue for its central importance in our everyday lives. While we may sometimes think of personal, social and political issues as existing independently of each other, Barenboim shows how music teaches that this is impossible. Turning to his intense involvement with Palestine, he examines the transformative power of music in the world, from his own performances of Wagner in Israel and his foundation, with Edward Said, of the internationally acclaimed West-Eastern Divan Orchestra....

Daniel Barenboim's book vividly describes his lifelong pursuit of knowledge and understanding, not only of music and of life, but of one through the other. The topics covered range from the problems of timing to the philosophy of Spinoza and its relevance to musical interpretation.
