When Steve Lopez sees Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on a two-string violin on Los Angeles's skid row, he finds it impossible to walk away. More than thirty years ago, Ayers was a promising student at Julliard - ambitious, charming and hugely talented - until he gradually lost his ability to function, overcome by schizophrenia. When Lopez finds him, Ayers is homeless and paranoid, but glimmers of his earlier brilliance are still there. Over time, the two men form a bond, and Lopez imagines that he might be able to change Ayer's life. For each triumph, there is a crashing disappointment, yet neither man gives up. Their friendship will changes both of their lives in ways that neither could predict. Poignant and ultimately hopeful, The Soloist is a beautifully told story of devotion in the face of seemingly unbeatable challenges, and the inspiring power of music.

At thirty–four, piano soloist Max Randal has hit a wall. It's been four years since his last live performance, and his manager is intent on revitalizing his career with a big concert at Carnegie Hall. As if that wouldn't be enough for Max to worry about, as he struggles to prepare, the ghosts of his failed relationships have come to haunt him — his first ex–wife is dying, his second ex–wife wants to get back together, the mother of his child has taken off for Europe and unexpectedly left him to care for their nine–year–old, and his present girlfriend now wants to get serious. Believe it or not, the plot only gets thicker. Merging dozens of characters and events into a seamless narrative, gifted novelist and poet Nicholas Christopher delivers a compelling tale. Like an exhilarating performance, The Soloist takes you on a brilliant adventure that resonates even once it's over.

Sarah Montgomery sat in her practice room, her fingers gently gliding across the strings of her violin. The notes resonated through the small space, filling it with a sweet, melancholic melody. The room was her sanctuary, the place where she poured her heart and soul into her music. Ever since Sarah was a little girl, she had dreamed of becoming a soloist, captivating audiences with her enchanting performances. Music flowed in her veins, and the violin had become an extension of herself-a medium through which she could express her deepest emotions. As she prepared for the most important audition of her life, her heart fluttered with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The renowned orchestra was seeking a soloist for their upcoming concert series, and Sarah knew this could be her chance to make her mark in the music world. It was an opportunity that could launch her career and fulfill her lifelong ambition. Her dedication to her craft was unwavering. Every day, she spent hours practicing, honing her technique, and perfecting every nuance of her performance. She sought guidance from her mentor, Professor Alexander, a respected violinist who had become like a second father to her. Professor Alexander had recognized Sarah's talent from a young age and had taken her under his wing. He had witnessed her growth and nurtured her passion, guiding her through the intricacies of music. With his support, Sarah felt a sense of purpose and a belief that she could achieve greatness. But as the audition drew nearer, doubts began to creep into Sarah's mind. What if she wasn't good enough? What if her dreams remained just that-mere dreams? The pressure weighed heavily on her, threatening to shatter her confidence. Amidst her intense practice sessions, Sarah found solace in her friendship with David, a talented pianist she had met during a summer music workshop. They had instantly connected, their shared love for music bringing them closer.

Driven by a passion for music, for excellence, and for fame, violin soloists are immersed from early childhood in high-pressure competitions, regular public appearances, and arduous daily practice. An in-depth study of nearly one hundred such children, Producing Excellence illuminates the process these young violinists undergo to become elite international soloists. A musician and a parent of a young violinist, sociologist Izabela Wagner offers an inside look at how her young subjects set out on the long road to becoming a soloist. The remarkable research she conducted—at rehearsals, lessons, and in other educational settings—enabled her to gain deep insight into what distinguishes these talented prodigies and their training. She notes, for instance, the importance of a family culture steeped in the values of the musical world. Indeed, more than half of these students come from a family of professional musicians and were raised in an atmosphere marked by the importance of instrumental practice, the vitality of music as a vocation, and especially the veneration of famous artists. Wagner also highlights the highly structured, rigorous training system of identifying, nurturing, and rewarding talent, even as she underscores the social, economic, and cultural factors that make success in this system possible. Offering an intimate portrait of the students, their parents, and their instructors, Producing Excellence sheds new light on the development of exceptional musical talent, as well as draw much larger conclusions as to “producing prodigy” in other competition-prone areas, such as sports, sciences, the professions, and other arts. Wagner’s insights make this book valuable for academics interested in the study of occupations, and her clear, lively writing is perfect for general readers curious about the ins and outs of training to be a violin soloist.
