Is anyone able to summarise what the central message of maestro is concisely.

I think it has something to do with the search for perfection and how this is reflected through the relationship between student and teacher.

(Yes i have read the book, just need to discuss this in an essay and can't afford to get it wrong)

Thoughts???

Maestro focuses itself around themes such as adolescence, love and the relationship between student and teacher. Paul's striving for perfection leads him to the assumption at the end to class himself as a second-rate pianist.
