Allegretto is a novel written by Gertrude Hall. The book is set in the early 1900s and tells the story of a young woman named Allegretto, who is born into a wealthy family in New York City. Allegretto is a talented musician and dreams of becoming a professional pianist, but her father disapproves of her passion for music and insists that she marry a wealthy man instead.Despite her father's wishes, Allegretto continues to pursue her musical career and falls in love with a struggling composer named Paul. The two begin a secret romance, but their relationship is threatened when Allegretto's father discovers their affair and forbids her from seeing Paul.As Allegretto struggles to choose between her love for Paul and her duty to her family, she must also confront the societal expectations placed upon women during this time period. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the limitations placed upon women in early 20th century America.Overall, Allegretto is a compelling and emotional story that offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by women in the early 1900s.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
