Being musician is a choice you make for passion, we might even say it’s a mission: it’s the continuous research of an interpretative truth, of an unattainable perfection.

Riccardo Muti

In his new book, Riccardo Muti leads us to the research of the mystery of music, in eight lessons through music history, his great experience as conductor and his most intimate memories: his professors, his dream come true to create an orchestra of young Italian musicians and an Italian Opera Academy in a Country that often forgets its role in the Art of society.

And then the inextinguishable passion that links him not only to the greatest, Mozart and Verdi, but also to long forgotten Italian composers. Fascinating thoughts to the discovery of the power of music and the secrets of the score. That score a gesture can turn into an emotion able to get to the heart of everybody.
