Hidden Voices: The Orphan Musicians of Venice

(2) YA In eighteenth-century Venice, orphans Anetta, Rosalba, and Luisa are students of Antonio Vivaldi. Fretful, kind Anetta fixates on rules; impetuous Rosalba plots a romance; and Luisa exists at a remove, stirred by music alone. Collins expertly delineates the subtle psychological damages inflicted by such a cold, albeit lavish, existence--set against a well-researched evocation of a vibrant period of musical history.
