The Mozart Question

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Foreman. For young reporter Lesley, reclusive violinist Paolo Levi addresses the question he's long avoided: why he never performs Mozart. Levi delicately but inexorably reveals how he began studying violin, his early life, and most importantly, his parents' experience in a concentration camp. Soft watercolor illustrations suit the book's understated and moving revelations. An author's note explains Morpurgo's inspiration.
