Download or read book The Haunted Violin written by Rebecca J. Reddy and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haunted Violin is an almost true story Dad told me as a child. The house was an abandoned house located outside the small town Dad grew up in. The house stayed empty for many years till two brave boys discovered the source of the spooky sounds that came eerily on a regular basis. Late one afternoon Roy and Johnny walked slowly up Jensen Road; a summer storm threatened the hot air. The silence is suddenly pierced by the spine tingling sounds of a violin, not a song, but sounds like bony fingers running across the strings. The boys freeze, Johnny looks at Roy and whispers, Hey Roy, I bet youre too chicken to go inside and get that creepy violin! Roys heart pounds loudly, and his hands are suddenly icy. He stares at the spooky house and says, I aint afraid of nothing, and when I bring that violin out, your new Babe Ruth card is all mine! Johnny nods his head thoughtfully, Deal! The Haunted Violin is based on a story Dad, (Roy), told us. Strange sounds were often heard coming from the old abandoned house and it remained empty till the source of the mysterious sounds were discovered. This story would be great for the four-to-eight-year-old age group. Children love a scary story, but also appreciate an ending where the mystery is resolved in a non threatening way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A rapturous, witty, and passionate memoir ... Violin Dreams is not only the story of a man becoming an artist, it’s a history of twentieth-century music.” -- John Guare, Tony Award-winning playwright Arnold Steinhardt, for more than forty years an international soloist and the first violinist of the Guarneri String Quartet, brings warmth, wit, and fascinating insider details to the story of his lifelong obsession with the violin, that most seductive and stunningly beautiful instrument. His story is rich with vivid scenes: the terror inflicted by his early violin teachers, the sensual pleasure involved in the pursuit of the perfect violin, the charged atmosphere of high-level competitions. Steinhardt describes Bach’s Chaconne as the holy grail for the solo violin, and he illuminates, from the perspective of an ardent owner of a great Storioni violin, the history and mysteries of the renowned Italian violinmakers. Violin Dreams includes a remarkable CD recording of Steinhardt performing Bach’s Partita in D Minor as a young violinist forty years ago and playing the same piece especially for this book. A conversation between the author and Alan Alda on the differences between the two performances is included in the liner notes.
