"As readers, we accompany my father as he becomes the founding first violinist of the Juilliard String Quartet and are ushered behind the scenes to witness the more intimate moments of quartet life ... and the controversies that sometimes surrounded the Juilliard String Quartet’s pioneering musical vision," Lisa Mann Marotta has told The Violin Channel.

"Dad began to write chapters for his book back in the 1980s, in moments snatched from a life still bursting with music making, composing, and teaching ... he wrote amazing letters to his children while on tour, love poems to his wife and children’s concert and program notes ... writing a book seemed a natural extension of a life dedicated to dialogue - both musical and verbal."

"A Passionate Journey, a Memoir by Robert Mann gives us an intimate look at his remarkable life ... it is his love letter to us all," Lisa has said.
