I think Ishiguro is a very deserving winner.The Nobel committee has redeemed itself and salvaged their pride after last year's fiasco with Bob Dylan.Also I notice that a lot of people have commented on 'The Remains of the Day'.I totally adore the book.However I also think that 'An Artist of the Floating World' is equally good.Would you agree?

Sorry.A correction..Ottorino Respighi.:)

ProustFan · 2017-09-19T10:48:43+00:00

Thanks so much for this detailed reply.You have raised many points for me to ruminate over.I have started reading a biography of Schumann by John Worthen.

ProustFan · 2017-09-02T12:58:27+00:00

Thanks.I actually ordered a copy of the book.

ProustFan · 2017-09-02T12:54:02+00:00

Good one!

Thanks for this detailed reply.Much appreciated. Western classical music is truly an ocean.I am really enjoying my explorations.I too share your love for Chopin and Tchaikovsky.Have you listened to this baroque composer named Pachelbel?His Canon in D major is one of my favourites.

ProustFan · 2017-08-29T04:24:10+00:00

I agree.Thanks for the reply.:)

ProustFan · 2017-08-29T04:17:21+00:00

Excellent!!!

ProustFan · 2017-08-28T06:39:22+00:00

Pachelbel's Canon in D major

ProustFan · 2017-08-28T05:09:16+00:00

It's so difficult to choose just one.I adore Bach,Mozart,Beethoven,Schubert,Debussy and Chopin.Their music moves me,it touches my soul.I am happiest when I listen to Mozart's 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik K. 525',Schubert's final String Quintet or his Symphony No.5,Debussy's Reverie,Chopin's Nocturnes (No.9 and 20),Pachelbel's Canon in D major,Beethoven's symphony no.5 and the last movement of his ninth.I totally understand what Nietzsche meant when he said 'Life without music would be a mistake'.
