It is rare to find an academic book that is emotionally and morally compelling as well as intellectually engaging. John Sloboda achieves this remarkable feat. British Journal of Music Education Throughout the book, Sloboda's writing is clear and approachable; no mean achievement across three decades and such a wide variety of topics.
