Symphony of Secrets by Brendan Slocumb

 Title: Symphony of Secrets

Author: Brendan Slocumb
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: 9/21/2023
When was the book published: 2023
Main Characters: Frederic Delancey, historic musician from the 1920's, Bern, the researcher in modern times, Delancey Foundation, Josephine Rose
What happens? DF hires Bern to finish the RED part of the 5 piece (colors of the Olympic flag) opera.  Back in the 1920s, Fred figures out JoR's musical notations (she sees music in colors and writes in symbols) and becomes rich and famous.
How long was this? 424 pages
Did I like this? It was OK.  The whole premise of inventing a musical composer bigger than Beethoven is hard to swallow.  He built a reasonable story.
Overall grade: B-
