In 'Adagio For A Simple Clarinet', Stephen Downes shares his childhood experiences of growing up in a strict Methodist home in Melbourne and his first efforts to learn music. Downes explores the complex relationship with his manipulative and sometimes cruel father, most notably through his dialogue with Mozart.
Stephen's fascination for the instrument and his emotional journey back in time is compellingly described in this beautifully presented book. This moving account is masterfully written with an emotional honesty that is both thought-provoking and spellbinding.
