He is also a writer, composer and painter and was recently described by the Economist as one of \u201920 Living Polymaths\u2019. As an international performer he spends much of his life at airports, on planes, and in hotel rooms \u2013 and this book expands notes he has made, in his words, \u2018during that dead time on the road\u2019.<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>He writes about music and the life of a musician, from exploring the broader aspects of what it is to walk out on to a stage or to make a recording, to specialist tips from deep inside the practice room: how to trill, how to pedal, how to practise. He also writes vividly about people he\u2019s known, places he\u2019s travelled to, books he\u2019s read, paintings he\u2019s seen; and touches on more controversial subjects, such as assisted suicide and abortion. Even religion is there \u2013 the possibility of the existence of God, problems with some biblical texts and the challenge involved in being a gay Catholic.<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>An illuminating and absorbing introduction into the life and mind of one of our great cultural figures.<\/p>\n<p> &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\"color:#FF8C00;\"\"\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uffe5Stephen Hough is indisputably one of the world\u2019s leadi [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,23],"tags":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-110148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-trap","category-yzcy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=110148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110148\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=110148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=110148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=110148"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftopic&post=110148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
