Summary note

Albert Einstein had two lifelong passions, physics and music: this is the story of Einstein's life told through these twin lenses. Thoughtfully and rigorously illustrating the ways in which Einstein's musical life and personal and scientific life were mutually influenced, this book illuminates new and different aspects of his complex personality. Throughout Einstein's life, music became an escape both from the intellectual demands of revolutionising twentieth-century science and from the social obligations and commitments in his personal life.
