Author’s notes
“The purpose of this biography is to get to the truth of the man who was Marcel Moyse through recollections by the author and his colleagues. Sometimes the stories told are conflicting but they are purposefully so, to give the reader a more rounded idea of the man. The book includes chapters on Moyse – the Teacher, the Writer, the Performer, and the Man as well as a brief biography” – Trevor Wye
