( February 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.* The piece was commissioned by Paul Wittgenstein, a concert pianist who had lost his right arm in the First World War. [1] Paul Wittgenstein at the piano It’s the mangaka’s first serialized story and it feels like it in both the awkwardness of the storytelling and the way the narrative is just going for it like crazy every step of the way. It’s just wild and, while I initially couldn’t even with the writing, the whole thing grows on you as it progresses.

In preparing for composition, Ravel studied several pieces written for one-handed piano, including Camille Saint-Saëns's Six Études pour la main gauche (Six Études for the Left Hand) (Op. 135), Leopold Godowsky's transcription for the left hand of Frédéric Chopin's Etudes (Opp. 10 and 25), Carl Czerny's Ecole de la main gauche (School of the Left Hand) (Op. 399), 24 études pour la main gauche (Op. 718), Charles-Valentin Alkan's Fantaisie in A ♭ major (Op. 76 No. 1), and Alexander Scriabin's Prelude and Nocturne for the Left Hand (Op. 9). [2] Wittgenstein gave the premiere with Robert Heger and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra on 5 January 1932; [3] Ravel had first offered the premiere to Arturo Toscanini, who declined.

First of all, thank you so much NetGalley, publisher, and author, for providing me this ARC in exchange for an honest review) Ivry, Benjamin (28 February 2009). "Sound of One Hand Playing". Wall Street Journal . Retrieved 20 April 2017. Piano Duo for the Left Hand surprised me by being very interesting! I'm not usually a fan of music manga, since capturing sound on a paper hardly ever works. Shu's a delinquent and he ends up in fights all the time. He meets Akari, a fellow student and a piano virtuoso, and listens to her concert although not enjoying it that much. Due to circumstances they both end up late and thus they pedal to the concert place together, so that Akari won't be late. But, there's a car crash and Akari dies and Shu gets injured. Oddly enough Akari lives on now in Shu's left hand and Shu decides to continue the girl's dream. The whole thing is quite dramatic and happens very fast, but the idea is surely something else. There a sports manga feeling to this and I surely want to know how the series evolves, since the plot is constructed well and the flow is great.I have a soft spot for stories following protagonists finding and pursuing their passion later in life- Blue Period, Smile Down the Runway (Runway de Waratte); to name a few. So, I went into this excited and expecting to love it. For the most part, it was an enjoyable read, but honestly pretty forgettable. She, her dream and her love for music will live on in Shu's left hand as he learns to play the piano to find purpose in his life, but also to help the people who loved Akari to overcome her disappearance.

Ho trovato un po' strani gli indumenti dei personaggi che non molto larghi e morbidi. E' davvero uno stile particolare e diverso da quello a cui sono abituata, ma mi piace. The first half shows Shu’s worthless home life and worthless school life as he is portrayed as a decent kid who has been beaten down by his broken home. He meets Akari, and they have a rambunctious evening that involves getting her to her piano concert on time and vehicle theft and the cops and lessons learned and her infectious attempts to get Shu to fall in love with music. So, on the whole, this story was very powerful and beautiful in many senses. I think that manga readers who love stories centred around the theme of music and especially of piano players will love this manga. I will finally add that the drawings were very cute, though some things didn't particularly please me in the depiction of women/girls (i.e. the sexy maid with a big bosom was a bit too cliché and a bit sexist in my opinion).Death, bullying and mistreatment are some of the issues that the protagonist is forced to face. But Akari will become his bright sunshine and hope to completely change his life. It's difficult to dance around this plot without risking significant spoilers. Shu and Akari are connected in ways that most stories would never dare try. It's unique and compelling, even if it originally stemmed from tragedy. The protagonist Shu was a delinquent by circumstance, not by choice, and when he shed his rough bad boy attitude he was rather endearing. His guilt made him pitiable and his dogged determination to honour Akari’s wish was honourable. Really, he was a good guy and a protagonist to root for. His character design was a little questionable. He looked much too big to be a middle schooler and his ridiculous trousers looked like Ali Baba pants three sizes too big for him so that any panel that featured his full frame had him looking like a mushroom cloud. If anything, it was amusing to see.

If there’s anything worse than bad melodrama, however, it’s trite bad melodrama. There’s a lot in this section, which focuses on a dive bar being menaced by Yakuza and teaches the somewhat bizarre moral that, yes, please negotiate with terrorists. Thanks to Kodansha Comics and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own. What I loved about this story is that it is essentially a new take on the tale where somebody finally realizes their worth. Shu is cleaning up his act, trying to make a future for himself. It's so heartwarming to see, and I can't wait to see more of it.What do I even say after that? Shu gets blamed (and blames himself), he thinks about killing himself, Akari manifests and starts talking as a spirit. Rivals appear, Shu dedicates himself to learning piano, Akari’s best friend is said rival, it’s a lot. There’s a throwdown at a music store for pity’s sake. Shi is a delinquent, but when he meets one of the top middle school piano players, Akari, he starts to find friendship in an unexpected place. After a tragic accident, Akari's spirit lives through Shu's left hand, controlling his every action and playing the piano with finesse. As Akari's wish is to make people smile with music, so then becomes Shu's goal. Zank, Stephen (24 May 2013). Maurice Ravel: A Guide to Research. Routledge. note B206. ISBN 978-1135173517 . Retrieved 25 February 2014. Piano duo for the left hand" is a very particular manga. I didn't think I would like it, but it won me over. The drawings are full of energy and happiness, although some moments in the story are not happy at all.
