Letters and Friendship by Thomas Pitfield
Artists are thought to be solitary, but some, particularly musicians, are dependent both on audiences and on the sympathy, understanding, and courage of fellow musicians. Brodsky came to Manchester at Charles Halle 's invitation and he came with the friendship of Tchaikovsky, whose violin concerto he had dared to play.
Thomas Pitfield tells the story as it is revealed in letters recently discovered.
