the writing about music and all the emotions and history and more that is wrapped around it was my favourite part of the book. but i really disliked that there was so much focus on the 'complicated' and 'tortured' lives of people with so much wealth and power, while those who are the most oppressed are hardly given any voice, but instead only discussed by the wealthy and powerful.
