 About the Book When American violinist Anthea Kreston is selected as the
  fourth member of Germany’s Artemis Quartet\, it is the culmination of d
 ecades of dedication. In Crescendo \, her enchanting and deeply personal
  memoir\, Kreston writes about growing up in a well-to-do but difficult 
 family in Chicago\, leaving home at sixteen\, studying at the ultracompe
 titive Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (Hilary Hahn was a clas
 smate)\, then burning out and leaving it all behind for a commune in Ore
 gon. All the while\, Kreston never stops playing her beloved violin\, an
 d\, in time\, she finds her way back\, making it to the top of the class
 ical music world. She writes candidly about struggling with years of inf
 ertility and the challenges of being a mother with a performance career.
  When she moves her young family to Germany\, she struggles to stay true
  to herself and maintain her marriage\, amid the never-ending pressure o
 f the string quartet. Told with warmth and wit (Kreston once gets out of
  a traffic ticket by playing Danny Boy for the Irish cop)\, Crescendo is
  an honest and ultimately celebratory reflection on art\, ambition\, and
  the choices that compose a life. About the Author Anthea Kreston is a w
 orld-renowned violinist and violist who has performed on almost every ma
 jor concert stage around the globe\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln C
 enter\, the Kennedy Center\, the Royal Academy of Music (London)\, Princ
