The Instrumentalist
The Instrumentalist
Very Well Kept (Excellent)
In eighteenth-century Venice, orphaned Anna Maria grows within the musical world of the Ospedale della Pietà, where exceptional girls perform behind screens and Antonio Vivaldi teaches and composes. Harriet Constable’s The Instrumentalist imagines the ambition, talent, rivalry, and constraints surrounding a gifted violinist whose historical achievements were largely forgotten. Blending documented figures with historical fiction, the novel explores authorship, recognition, gender, and the cost of creating brilliant work in a world determined to credit someone else.
