English Translation: "I was excited by the author. It was love at first reading. I am very selective in what I read and I tend more books that lead the characters more than the plot. This is such a book. But what I loved here is the way it is written. With ultimate music and poetic genius."

Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no. 1 in F-sharp minor, op. 1: "Marianne was affronted that Lily didn't notice she'd been practicing that very piece for two weeks.

It was too fast, too complex and she made too many mistakes, running her thin fingers up and down the piano as if they were being chased."  http://bewrite.net/mm5/FlippingBooks/SBE/index.html Mistakes, Fingers, Complex, Piano, Difficult, Practice, Lily, Attention

"He turned on his radio and it was Beethoven's Fifthy Symphony, turned into a pop song. The contours of the song were there but it had an electronic overlay and lots of bass to make it danceable. Marianne had heard the song before and knew it was popular. The Fifth Symphony was such a good piece of music, so rich and resonant. It sounded impossibly frivolous set to an electronic beat." http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Before-Evening-ebook/dp/B0046LU7NO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8=1336447051=8-2 Apple Band, Music Teacher, Teacher Stuff, Everything And Nothing, Piece Of Music, Pop Songs, Big Apple, Music Record

Skipping the rest of her aborted gym class, Marianne hid in the music hall, tickering with the keys on the piano. It was out of tune but she could still feel it respond under her fingers as she played Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No 1, an expressive roller-coaster of a piece whose increasing crescendo made her feel better...
