Click and Collect for An ungrateful instrument [DIY Book Club]Antoine Forqueray and, later, his son Jean-Baptiste, were each brought up as child prodigies to the court of Louis XIV. Together, they were said to be the only musicians in France who could play the father's brilliant, eccentric music for the viola da gamba. In an imaginative masterstroke the story is told by Jean-Baptiste's highly attuned deaf-mute sister, Charlotte-Elisabeth. Threaded throughout, deep in a forest an old man creates the gift of a special viol for the boy, Jean Baptiste.
