By far, the soloist has to be one of the easiet books to read and comprhend. This is made possible because LOopez is a modern writer, therefore the word choices and writing style are of today. So far the story of Nathaniel Ayers, reads as it was intended; a feature story. The book obviously explains things in greater detail, however, it still reads a story that is being written for the purpose of "reporting".
The actual story grasps my attention from musical aspect. So far we realize that Nathaniel Ayers is a street musician. My initail thought was, "Okay big deal". We live in a world with alot of those so I didn't really catch why he was so important. As I began to read further, Lopez's observation of classical training, began to make me want to know. This was mostly because I could relate to Lopez's observation. There has been plenty of times when I have heard musicians and could tell wether they were trained to play music. At this point my mind begins to wonder, "What is going on"? This question came to mind due my knowledge of music and the buisness. One of the biggest challenges for musicians is their ability to read music. Especially in the classical world, you have to know how to read music or it will be hard to land a job, even more so when you are called to fill in for someone at the last minute. Because of this, I wonder why Nathaniel Ayers was a street musician. If he studied at Julliard, I'm sure he read music so what happened.
Please respond a you see fit.
