Product Information

To daje odbiorowi nową jakość, pozwala delektować się słuchanymi dźwiękami i spojrzeć na znane utwory muzyki poważnej świeżym okiem, z nowej perspektywy.

I also particularly enjoyed the way that Aya and Jin's otherworldly, detached natures were described.

Welcome to a magical world of music, friendship and rivalry … In a small coastal town just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, a prestigious piano competition is underway. As the competition proceeds through four taut rounds, eliminating contestants liberally along the way, Onda places the reader not only in the position of those playing a particular piece, but often in the minds of several observers, each with their own take on the style and effect of the playing.Esta não é uma história sobre rivalidade entre os participantes, é uma história sobre o amor que têm pela música, o que significa para cada um eles e a forma como conseguem criar relações profundas com os outros pianistas através dessa paixão mútua.

She grew up in Sendai and attended Waseda University, where she played the alto saxophone in a student band. W tej historii może nie dzieje się dużo, akcja jest raczej powolna, choć mamy tu do czynienia ze zmaganiami konkursowymi pianistów – najważniejsza jest jednak muzyka, bohaterowie widzą swoją przeszłość i teraźniejszość a także przyszłość w świetle dźwięków, odgłosów jutra. Sharp, topical, and powerful, Hyper is a story about what remains of our humanity in a world increasingly dominated by the flows of capital. I read it in almost one sitting only pausing to add every piano piece mentioned into a playlist to listen later and to grab tissues because despite this not being a sad book I found myself crying. incrível ver a dedicação destes participantes e compreender que, apesar de quererem ganhar, para eles já é suficiente fazerem parte de algo tão grandioso, que junta pessoas tão talentosas, e isso não os impede de criar amizades, torcer pelos seus amigos e ficar contente com as suas vitórias.

As the hours count down to their wedding, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe, follow the rules.
