Balancing her way through composing, conducting, salsa dancing, and the parallel interpretations that can be applied relationships, Daphne Kalotay creates an amazing "performance" of walking readers through a masterpiece. Involving parenthood, classical music, literal sight reading of music, life, and the future is not an easy gig. yet Kalotay makes it that way. It is difficult to separate the analogy of music to life, yet here is is between every page. Impossible to put down, impossible to keep my thoughts away from and finding myself entrenched in the crescendos that made this novel complete, fro the very first page to the very last page that is a glossary of musical terms, it is difficult not to embrace this novel. Standing ovation to Daphne Kalotay for a truly successful life work! Music Interrupted:In "Sight Reading," Daphne Kalotay begins and ends the story about relationships with music and relationships described through music. However, in the middle, it feels like the music is interrupted with more focus on relationships, almost as if these were two separate books. While I generally liked the book, this feeling of interruption was dissatisfying. I also did not like the character of Nicholas; he was too self-absorbed to warrant as much care given to him.
