It's baby's first Murakami, but I'm not sure it fully counts as it's nonfiction! Murakami & Ozawa are both very thoughtful individuals who care deeply about the understanding of art. You don't need to be a musician to follow along, though a cursory understanding of musical periods may help in the Mahler discussion.

Will need to reread with the recordings at hand- I read the bulk of this at work, where we had a sudden crackdown on using work computers to stream media :(

Ozawa dan Murakami ngobrol tentang musik klasik. Dari Beethoven sampai Mahler dan Opera. Saya bukan penggemar musik klasik, paling banter ya Beethoven atau Mozart atau Rachmaninoff, jadi agak susah ngikutin apa yang mereka obrolkan. Kalau Murakami ngobrol tentang musik pop atau jazz mungkin lebih nangkep.

Satu hal yang penting dalam buku ini: ritme dala menulis itu penting


Btw, saya jadi ingin ada buku macam begini lagi. Isinya Murakami mengobrol dengan Araki tentang musik dadrock. Mungkin lebih seru
