Interpretation During Books The Musician's Daughter (Theresa Schurman #1)
Murder and love—from the halls of Vienna’s imperial family to a perilous gypsy campAmid the glamour of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy’s court in 18th-century Vienna, murder is afoot. Or so fifteen-year-old Theresa Maria is convinced when her musician father turns up dead on Christmas Eve, his valuable violin missing, and the only clue to his death a strange gold pendant around his neck. Then her father’s mentor, the acclaimed composer Franz Joseph Haydn, helps her through a difficult time by making her his copyist and giving her insight in to her father’s secret life. It’s there that Theresa begins to uncover a trail of blackmail and extortion, even as she discovers honor—and the possibility of a first, tentative love. Thrumming with the weeping strains of violins, as well as danger and deception, this is an engrossing tale of murder, romance, and music that readers will find hard to forget.

Gonna have to DNF this one for now, but...I love the idea of this book. It takes place during the classical music era and, as far as I can tell, deals with Joseph Haydn in some way. Which is amazing. As a fan of classical music and Haydn, I was thrilled when I heard about this book, so I will most certainly be reading it at some later point... just maybe not right now. As far as I have read in this book (and I'll admit, it's not very far), I have been interested--I do want to know what happensWhen Theresa, the 15 year old daughter of a musician who has been murdered decides to investigate her father's death, she finds herself deeply involved with radical politics in 18th century Austria. This is the sort of political machinations that I enjoy.I loved the musical aspect. Theresa is herself a musician, and the composer Haydn is a major character. There is also the music of the gypsies and gypsy musicians in Haydn's orchestra. I finished the novel wanting to read more about Haydn. The
A most exciting read, with a plucky, likeable heroine and adventure, mystery plus romance spun into this tale. Dunlap brings us into the world of Vienna (my most favourite musical place in the world!!) in the 1770s, during the Habsburg empire. Theresa Maria's father, a principal violinist in the royal orchestra, has been murdered and it is up to Theresa to uncover the truth. Along the way, she finds out that there is much more to her loving, gentle father, with the help of Gypsies, her godfather
This could have been a fabulous book. Its the story of the daughter of a violinist in Prince Esterhazy of Austrias symphony in the eighteenth century. Like her father, Theresa loves music above all things so when her father dies under odd circumstances she goes on a hunt to find out who killed him and stole his beloved violin. Her search leads her to the greatest musicians of her time, the wickedest political counselors, and the truth behind her fathers connection to a band of gypsies.Sounds

Courtesy of BLT Reviews: booksandliteratureforteens.blogspot.comHistory, a mystery, and a little music.The Musicians Daughter is a mysterious and musical story of a girls desperate search for truth and justice. The characters were very true to their era (even if theyre were a little too vague sometimes)-it was the fad back then to be extremely polite and obedient, even if it meant life or death; being vague and secretive, and no emo showing whatsoever. The book had a sense of adventure and
