A book for music lovers. Talbot Cox has had a love affair with music all his life. In a small rural town in the Karoo, he learned to play the piano, and was the organist of the local Methodist Church as a young age. âIn my teenage years, I was tutored by a gifted pianist, the wife of the local Dutch Reformed Church minister, who inculcated in a callow young boy a love of classical music. She would sit me down and together we would listen to Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Choplin and so many more on her turntable. I still well remember the gramophone recordings with the distinctive His Masterâs Voice labels. I was enthralled, and today, some 70 year later, I still am!â.
