I just finished Nodame Cantabile.....
...and I looooooooooooooooooooooved it! ^__________________________^ <333333333333
Words cannot express how much I loved it. *squeeeee* Really, it's one of those rare series that make me honest-to-god laugh out loud. :DDD
And the music... oh god, the music. It was so beautiful. T_T There were mostly orchestral pieces at first, but in the latter episodes there was a piano competition! <3 And Nodame played a Mozart sonata I've played too! ^_^ It's always so thrilling to listen to a piece you know. She also played a Brahms' Paganini Variations (my mom used to play all the time). And her Liszt! O.O So fast!
But there were really a lot of well known pieces in the series. There was Appassionata and Pathetique and at one point Chiaki played a Rachmaninoff concerto *squeee* and there was even a bit of Carmen Fantasy, but the best part was...
RHAPSODY IN BLUE. BY GERSHWIN.
*swooooooooooooooons*
Oh, how I love this. ^_________^ I love it I love it I love it. I actually got goosebumbs when I heard it.
*fangirls*
Man, watching this anime really made me regret giving up the piano this year. >.< But I guess it couldn't be helped. Still, I'll always be grateful to my teachers for showing me how to trully appreciate classical music. Things like this stay with you for the rest of your life.
Anyway, I should probably turn off the computer now. *is kinda woozy after watching 20 episodes in a row*
