Review

Throughout the book, Sloboda's writing is clear and approachable; no mean achievement across three decades and such a wide variety of topics. * British Journal of Music Education * It is rare to find an academic book that is emotionally and morally compelling as well as intellectually engaging. John Sloboda achieves this remarkable feat. * British Journal of Music Education *
