Into the book
But sometimes, on days when I'm so tired I don't want to do anything, I find that a song written hundreds of years ago in a distant land, written with tears and a heavy heart about a love that couldn't be fulfilled, brings me greater comfort than a short piece of music full of new stimulation.
--- p.33
This time, let's experience in advance what we will experience at the concert hall.
Why do the musicians stop playing and move so stealthily? Why does the conductor come in late and alone? Why does the conductor wave his arms as if he's dancing?
Once you know this, you will not only hear music at the concert hall, but your eyes will also be opened.
--- p.65
Let's listen to the original large-scale orchestra version of the same song and compare it with the version arranged for a single piano.
If you can directly experience the difference between the charm of the same melody coming from one instrument and the charm of a variety of tones mixed together, you will be one step closer to finding your own taste.
--- p.179
This is a 1996 recording version by Mischa Maisky, famous as the teacher of cellist Han-na Chang, and was re-released by Deutsche Grammophon in 2021.
Compared to other artists' recordings, it feels like the sadness is unusually restrained.
But doesn't sadness deepen the more you endure it?
This album is particularly heartbreaking.
