Good music is music that moves us. Be it any genre, a music piece that
stirs a certain emotion (or more than one) is something that we listen
to over and over again.
A friend recommended the book An Equal music by Vikram Seth. It is a story about a love affair between two successful musicians who meet after a decade of separation.
The writing style is in first person, so it took me a lot of effort to get into the mode of reading the story as spoken directly from the author's point of view.
What I do like about the book is the description of the music pieces and references to the classical compositions. The first piece described in the book is Beethoven's C Minor Trio. So along with reading about the music, listening to it and actually understanding what the author describes adds to the effect.
I love the way the lady plays the piano so beautifully and effortlessly.
These are the other classical/based pieces that I've been playing in a loop recently:
Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi's Divenire. Listening to this piece as well as watching the musicians play it is a treat.
David Lanz's Christofori's Dream. There is something very subtle at the same time very intense about this tune.
And it is time to note that the CDs with the works of Beethoven and Mozart received as a gift eons ago are being put to good use :)
