In this book, you can learn about Ayako Uehara's piano life from her childhood to the present.

He has been practicing intensely since he was a child, meeting wonderful teachers, and making decisions that amaze everyone around him.

The book's obi says, "Isn't that kind of life interesting?" and that's exactly what it says.

Uehara's life is told in this book in a way that is surprising to read.

Mr. Uehara won an international competition without attending a music college. What was the secret?

His lessons at Yamaha as a child and his experiences abroad were very interesting.

I am happy to have found such interesting biographical works!

It is the best biography to learn about the lives of the great musicians in history along with the historical background of the time.

I just have to tip my hat to the author, Madoka Hino's overwhelming narrative. It is shockingly interesting!

If you are not familiar with classical music, please read this book! I, too, was able to connect with classical music for the first time through this work!

Sibelius' homeland, Finland, was under Swedish rule until 1809 and then under Russian rule. After the Russian Revolution led to the establishment of the Soviet Union, the country was repeatedly attacked on a large scale and involved in fierce fighting.

This biography also teaches the history of Finland, which was continually threatened by such a great power.

This book looks at the greatest battle of the 20th century, the war between Germany and the Soviet Union, from the perspective of music. Moreover, as Madoka Hino states, the book follows in detail the struggles of individual members of the orchestra, who usually do not receive much attention.

What meaning does music have in the extreme situation of wartime?

This book is a great one to learn about the tense situation at the time.
