To accompany her best-selling memoir of the same name, pianist and author Anna Goldsworthy presents a stunning collection of piano works tracing her first steps towards a life in music. Through music by Debussy, Shostakovich, Chopin and others, Anna takes an affectionate autobiographical journey from childhood piano lessons to her international success as a concert pianist. Coinciding with the US release of the book, the album too captures the hopes, uncertainties and exhilaration of youthful artistic exploration.
