Strings Attached by Joanne Lipman

STRINGS ATTACHED centers on the legacy of Mr. K, the sharp-spoken, foot-pounding, never-praising Ukrainian-born despot whose music lessons and orchestra rehearsals reduced students to tears. Yet, when he passed away, more than 100 students from three generations returned to play in a memorial concert and acknowledge the amazing lesson he instilled: Demand great things of yourself.
