For over ten years, the author was granted access to DeLay's classes and lessons at the Juilliard School and at the Aspen Music Festival/School, and this book reveals DeLay's deeply intuitive approach to each student's needs. Sand examines the childhoods of several DeLay students, taking a long look at one of today's foremost stars, Sarah Chang. Woven through these accounts are key issues in the care and training of exceptional young artists. Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg are among the musicians who provide their very personal assessments of DeLay as friend and teacher.
