“But you play that passage like it's the -memory- of love. You're so young, yet you know desertion, abandonment. That's why you play that third movement the way you do. Most cellists, they play it with joy. But for you, it's not about joy, it's about the memory of a joyful time that's gone for ever.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall

“so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”
