Indent Publishing is proud to have secured the rights to Megan Yim's second edition of of a : Untold of a ’s Journey available now!
(See profile, or go to linktr.ee/Indentpublishing)

And out of the gate, she secured the #1 position on 's list in Classical Musician's .

In this new edition of Vignettes of a Pianist, Megan Yim offers a new foreword capturing how the uproars and silences of life have affected her relationship with the instrument – and with an additional five vignettes, too!

Years have revealed to Megan that the gift of music is exactly that: a gift. It is a luxury and a privilege that not everyone has access to: hearing it, learning it, but most of all sharing it. What does being a classically trained musician mean? What are the responsibilities? The duties?

In Vignettes of a Pianist, Megan retells and re-creates the moments that are felt behind the curtains, the moments that are not applauded or awarded. Moments that most individuals forget, or they may not even have knowledge of: the awkward walk up to the stage before a , the frightening wait outside the examination room, or the silent drive to a piano lesson you did not practice for. To play and create is a gift to be cherished and shared, and Megan hopes she can share hers.

35 years ago, David sent a LETTER (by mail!) to Anthony Burgess, who didn't know David at all, and that started a penpal relationship culminating in Anthony writing a very detailed and specific preface to Bach, Beethoven and the Boys. It was beyond what could be expected!
The takeaway?
If you don't try, you will definitely not succeed.
So go out and do that thing. Reach out to that person. As Nike says, 'just do it'.
Who knows, you might find you get what you asked for!

NEW RELEASE!

David W. Barber has delighted readers all around the world with Accidentals on Purpose, Getting a Handel on Messiah and other internationally bestselling books of musical humor. His bestselling Bach, Beethoven and the Boys chronicles the lives of the great (and not-so-great) composers as you’ve never read them before – exploring their lives, exposing their foibles and expanding on our understanding of these all-too-human creatures. Bach, Beethoven and the Grrrls similarly shines much-needed light on the lives of women composers too long neglected. Now Barber brings these two resources together in Bach, Beethoven for Kids. This new book especially tailored to younger readers is filled with useful information, interesting facts and fun trivia. This hilarious and informative his­tory covers music from Gregorian chant to the mess we’re in now. From Bach’s laundry lists to Beethoven’s quirky coffee order, from Clara Schumann’s tenacity to John Cage’s mushroom expertise, Barber brings these and other composers to life. As always, Dave Donald has provided witty and clever cartoon illustrations to accompany the text.

“My heartiest commendation for an admirable work of scholarship. ... I will not say again that it is funny, since this will compel you to set your jaw and dare Barber to make you laugh.”
— Anthony Burgess
