The Mozart season

the long version

Allegra spends her twelfth summer practicing a Mozart concerto for a violin competition and finding many significant connections in her world. Allegra Shapiro was planning on taking it easy this summer, but then she found out that she had made it to the finals of a prestigious competition for young musicians. Now she's got to concentrate on playing Mozart's Fourth Violin Concerto. *Her* way. Better than anyone else. But it's hard for Allegra to stay focused when there's so much on her mind. She wants to understand the pain of an eccentric, talented singer. She needs to help a mysterious man find his lost song. She has to come to terms with a tragic event in her family's history. Who says music can take your cares away?.
