520    "In 1727, Stefan Silbermann is a grief-stricken thirteen-
       year-old, struggling with the death of his mother and his 
       removal to a school in distant Leipzig. Despite his 
       father's insistence that he try not to think of his mother
       too much, Stefan is haunted by her absence, and, to make 
       matters worse, he's bullied by his new classmates. But 
       when the school's cantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, takes 
       notice of his new pupil's beautiful singing voice and 
       draws him from the choir to be a soloist, Stefan's life is
       permanently changed. Over the course of the next several 
       months, and under Bach's careful tutelage, Stefan's 
       musical skill progresses, and he is allowed to work as a 
       copyist for Bach's many musical compositions. But mainly, 
       drawn into Bach's family life and away from the cruelty in
       the dorms and the lonely hours of his mourning, Stefan 
       begins to feel at home. When another tragedy strikes, this
       time in the Bach family, Stefan bears witness to the 
       depths of grief, the horrors of death, the solace of 
       religion, and the beauty that can spring from even the 
       most profound losses"--Dust jacket flap.
