Biograpny of musical legend

Rudolph Ganz was a musical legend of the 20th century. He knew many of the musical giants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Of particular interest to this reviewer is the information shared of Ganz's adoption of Chicago as his home. The book was written by his step daughter. The book, while very interesting, could have revealed more information about the musician's personal life as well as his role as piano teacher.
