Description
Second Strings is a novel written by Alfred Denis Godley and originally published in 1902. The story follows the lives of two brothers, Jack and Tom, who are both aspiring musicians. Jack is a talented violinist who has been studying in Europe for several years, while Tom is a struggling pianist who has been unable to find success in his career.When Jack returns home to England, he is immediately recognized as a prodigy and is offered numerous opportunities to perform and collaborate with other musicians. Tom, on the other hand, becomes increasingly jealous of his brother's success and begins to resent him.As the story unfolds, the brothers' relationship becomes increasingly strained, and they are forced to confront their differences and the choices they have made in their lives. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including other musicians, critics, and patrons of the arts.The novel explores themes of sibling rivalry, artistic ambition, and the challenges of pursuing a career in the arts. It also offers a vivid portrayal of the musical scene in turn-of-the-century England, with detailed descriptions of performances, rehearsals, and social events.Overall, Second Strings is a compelling and insightful novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of classical music and the lives of those who dedicate themselves to it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
