But it is only when she finds a cassette recording of her grandfather, Stephen, playing one of his compositions, the true and almost unbelievable history of the piano, this man and her family begins to unravel.The story follows Stephen from his days as a successful musician in Hungary in the 1930s to his bid for survival after he is left to die as a forced labourer in Siberia, through to imprisonment in concentration camps and back again.
