Seller's Description:
VG. Size: 8.3 x 5.2 x 0.2 inches; John Philip Sousa is best known for his marches, and he should be--he composed more than one hundred of them! What many people do not realize, however, is that Sousa also wrote some fifty songs and many other works such as light operas and suites...and this best-selling novel, which Sousa wrote around the turn of the century. The Fifth String will charm you from beginning to end, in much the same way that a Sousa march captivates and holds your attention. Sousa, himself an accomplished violinist, created Angelo Diotti as the main character in this almost-true story. While on tour, Diotti meets Mildred Wallace and is immediately enamored by her. Although his concerts draw raves from adoring crowds, the celebrated violinist is unable to impress Mildred, the one whose heart he seeks. Despite all efforts to gain her love, Diotti's playing fails to penetrate her cold exterior. As his infatuation becomes it more intense, Diotti is induced to add a mysterious fifth string to his violin. That fifth string, while guaranteed to win Mildred's heart, also leads Diotti to the dilemma of his lifetime. 144 pages.
