Listening to music is not only a pleasurable activity but also an almost necessary task for those whose vocation it is to incorporate words \u2013 a mixture of sound and silence \u2013 as a way of illuminating existence. In the archives of Clarice Lispector, Otto Lara Resende, and Decio de Almeida Prado, there are several LPs that help us get to know a little about the musical taste of these three writers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarice Lispector, for example, was explicit in relation to what music meant to her. In \u00c1gua Viva<\/em>, she confesses: \u201cI see that I\u2019ve never told you how I listen to music \u2013 I gently rest my hand on the record player and my hand vibrates, sending waves through my whole body: and so I listen to the electricity of the vibrations, the last substratum of reality\u2019s realm, and the world trembles inside my hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Covers from Clarice Lispector\u2019s LPs: on the left, St. Matthew Passion<\/em>, by J.S. Bach, performed by the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam; on the right, The Complete String Quartets of Ludwig von Beethoven<\/em>, performed by the Budapest String Quartet.
