SBC - Memoir by a man - My Viola and I by Lionel Tertis
Personally, I really enjoyed this book however it is something that would probably bore the general population. It is the memoir of Lionel Tertis who was the first person to bring the viola into a soloist role in the modern times. Prior to all his wok the viola was really only considered as an orchestral/chamber music instrument. Although a few solos had been written for it, not many existed. Tertis changed all of that however and modern violists owe our career to him. So from a geeky, music nerd perspective I was fascinated by many of the stories told in this book
