I love music Anime that allows me to just close my eyes and hear the performance with minimal interruption or VAs talking over it. This is an excellent show if you're interested in traditional Japanese music. The drama, on the other hand, is pretty forgettable despite ending in an uncommon way and teaching an important lesson about expression.
Oh, right... the ending of the first episode is designed to confuse the crap out of you, but I assure you the surprise introduction is exonerated by the events of the next episode. You should watch the first two before deciding how you feel about it.
Quality music variations.
* What I mean? Probably - music played during both shows ...can change in character. Music performed with big variety, not just used some old record and random exclamations of personages as probably in most of music-anime cases.
** Simplier - music here feels very "LIVE", like in Nodame Cantabile.
