A charming and deeply funny memoir of musical obsession <em>A Devil to Play</em> is the story of Jasper Rees a man who unearths his childhood French horn and begins a quixotic but obsessively serious challenge: to play a Mozart concerto--alone--for a paying audience within one year's time. It's an endearing inspiring tale of perseverance and achievement relayed masterfully one side-splittingly off-key note at a time.
