Download or read book Trio written by Boman Desai and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trio comprises three musical geniuses: Robert and Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Clara married Robert, with whom she fell in love when she was just sixteen, though it meant challenging the iron will of her father, who wished her to marry an earl or a count, certainly not an impoverished composer. The Schumanns had eight children, and Robert’s greatness as a composer was never in doubt, but he was also mentally ill, attempted suicide, and finally incarcerated himself in an asylum, where he died two and a half years later. Johannes Brahms entered the picture shortly before the incarceration and fell deeply in love with Clara but was just as deeply indebted to Robert for getting his first six opuses published within weeks of their meeting. Clara was forbidden to see Robert in the asylum because the doctors feared she would excite him too much. Brahms became a go-between for the couple, ferrying messages to and fro, but both loved Robert too well to abuse his trust. Brahms learned instead to associate deep love with deep renunciation—and, coupling this love with early experiences of playing dance music for sailors and prostitutes in Hamburg’s dockside bars, he became a victim to the Freudian conundrum: where he loves, he feels no passion, and where he feels passion, he cannot love. Germany grows in the hinterland of the story from four hundred-plus principalities to one nation under Bismarck. The great composers of the century (Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, and Wagner among others) have their entrances and exits, and the ghosts of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert are never distant. Though firmly grounded in fact, the book unfolds like a novel, a narrative of love, insanity, suicide, revolution, politics, war, and of course, music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vachan, Prisha, and Daana didnt know their vacation could turn out to be an adventurous saga! They reached the end of the tunnel. Prisha exclaimed, ‘Goodness! What is this?’, looking at the rugged walls and the wide space. The flashlight was handy, and they could assimilate the expanse of the space by its light. It was dark and scary. It seemed like a mine with layers and layers of rocks, resembling the ripples. It had a crude path running along the walls. To their amazement, the path ran in and out of the walls. ‘It looks like a maze,’ exclaimed Daana. ‘Let’s look at the map. This resembles the ripples represented in the map,’ said Prisha, who was quick to identify the pattern and match it to the visual she had of the map. She pulled the map out of her bag. They could see the resemblance, but they weren’t sure if that’s what the map meant. They started to walk on the path alongside the rugged walls. They disappeared behind the walls and emerged again, going round and round, up and down the path. After a while, they realised they were going round and round, leading nowhere. How did the curious trio reach this tunnel? What is in store for them beyond this maze? They stopped and realised the next riddle was at play: ‘One goes round and round with no end, you need to feel it.’
