CRITIC REVIEW:

"To read these letters is to meet, become acquainted with, and to admire Albert Spalding. Few musicians have shared their dreams, doubts, and innermost thoughts as completely or in such a polished manner as did Spalding....a self-portrait of a world-renowned instrumentalist who comes alive through his letters....Suzanne Spalding Winston worked with her uncle on his memoirs RISE TO FOLLOW ....[she] has transcribed the Spaldings' letters of a lifetime to make them accessible to music historians."
