We know it when we are lucky enough to encounter it, in whatever form it takes: a flawless bank shot, a magical card trick, or a transporting piano solo. Brilliantly captured in these pages, virtuosity is the unthinkable ventured, the impossible attained-humbling, exalting, and irresistible. What creates a virtuoso? What combination of talent, luck, and will shapes a remarkable body of work? What do extraordinary people have in common and how are they unique? This daring book pairs lively profiles with intimate portraits to reveal what makes forty truly exceptional people tick. Some, like Muhammad Ali and Mikhail Baryshnikov, are world famous, others relatively obscure. But all are among the best in the world at what they do, whether it's tying flies, puzzling over evolution, running a restaurant, or playing the guitar. Essays by noted figures-Frank Deford on skill, Judith Jamison on mentors, John Russell on genius, and Peter Blake on vision-provide a thoughtful context for exploring the subject of virtuosity. Elegantly designed, The Virtuoso is an inspiring celebration of human achievement.
